Stillwater Ranch Kennel
AKC Miniature American Shepherds
About Us
Stillwater Ranch raises smart, athletic Miniature American Shepherds. Our dogs are all trained and part of the family. The puppies are socialized and handled from day one and come pre-spoiled and played with! The majority of our dogs are Miniature American Shepherds in the 13-18 inch range but occasionally a throwback to bigger or smaller dogs in our bloodlines pops up to keep us guessing!
All of our dogs are fully health tested before breeding including full genetic panels, OFA Hips, elbows, and eyes
What do we look for in our dogs?
I started in the conformation ring so structure matters. I love the way Miniature American Shepherds are supposed to look...pretty much like a smaller Australian Shepherd. But, structure is no the only consideration when evaluating dogs. Miniature American
Shepherds should also be stable minded, smart, biddable, and want to work with their owners. They should also be able to be neutral around other dogs and in public...This is why canine good citizen testing and taking them out to do things is so important to me as a breeder (and you'll see evidence of this on our social platforms)
