My venture into miniature American shepherds

 If your a breeder that I contacted or contacted me you might find this a bit bitchy! 

When I first started looking for a mini American shepherd I was interested because a fellow Aussie breeder had a female I liked. So I put out feelers to breeders. I added my background in Aussies as a note about me and told them what my plans were to compete.

As a long time aussie owner and breeder I was less t then disheartened by what was offered to me as show quality. Frankly it was mostly crap or mediocre dogs at best. I was appalled and felt it ludicrous that so many breeders were showing me dogs I wouldn’t consider ever placing myself as a quality dog to be shown. 

When I did find some that might have worked the contracts for these minis were absolutely insane! What in gods earth makes these breeders think they can have so much control and ask 2-3 times as much for them then An Aussie breeder?

I was finally offered a female that I found appealing enough, with good terms, and a reasonable price. I jumped on it and she flew here on Thanksgiving 2019!

She became the first <a href=“http://www.waterfallaussies.com”>  miniature American shepherds </a>to join Waterfall Aussies!
