Navi is from a working dog line and has a very feminine physic. A red-factored black-tri, she’s 17” exactly and weighs 27lbs. She’s all muscle with medium bones.

Her OFA hips are excellent, elbows and eyes normal. Her muzzle is long and narrow, and when she runs, her ears fold back and touch in a perfectly aerodynamic line.

She’s fast. Turns quick. Can stop on a dime. Jumps like gazelle. She’s high-drive and adds movement to the litter.

But, she’s also a real “Velcro dog” - sticks to her person/family very closely. This makes her biddable, always wanting to please. She’ll go anywhere, and she minds her manners. The perfect travel companion for an adventure; she has flown from the US to Sweden and back, and traveled on a ferry to Germany.

She loves accompanying us to shop at True Value or Home Depot. She's great on a long hikes or riding on kayaks. The ocean wasn’t her favorite, but she really enjoyed chasing the ball up and down a Lake Michigan dune. She’s not much of a swimmer, but will if she has to.

Maybe her best physical quality (speaking as a pet owner, not from an AKC show perspective) is her coat. She has a working coat, but it’s the softest fur I’ve ever snuggled… bunny like. Some breeds of dogs have an odor—but not this breed. She stays fresh for weeks after a grooming, and we can’t keep our hands off her. So soft. So comforting.

Finally, Navi is affectionate. She will put the top of her head in my chest and wrap her paw around me, like a hug, and just rest there a moment. Then, pull back and lick my face too much. She’s playful, but very gentle… never too rough with children. She loves kids and thinks they are her pack.

Her embark DNA test is clear of genetic disorders, including NAD and non-HSF4.

Tyrion is from disc champion lines. He's small and light at 15.75" and 22 lbs. He has a 'happy go lucky' temperament, and loves to catch the Frisbee.

We selected Tyrion because of his small size, and we are hoping this litter will produce pups within' the breed's height limits.

Both parents are high drive with performance oriented temperaments. They have strong prey drive and are high jumpers.

This litter will fit in well with a family that likes to throw the chuck-it or disc, go on hikes, or need adventure companions. The pups would also fit perfectly with an owner that wants to seriously work a performance event like flyball, disc, or agility.

This litter will not do well in an apartment or area with restrictive movement. They will need to run and jump, and a fenced in area is best. They will not do well with owners that are reluctant to exercise. Though they will have down time often referred to as an "off-switch", this is not a couch potato litter. If they are not exercised daily, they will act out with undesirable behavior, like chewing or jumping on things.

Both Sire and Dam are red factored, so all colors are possible.

Stones Rivers Come Heel or High Water at Flat Rock, BCAT, "HIGGINS", is a HAPPY, gorgeous 16" tall, 26lbs..He is a red factored blue merle male with one blue and one dark brown eye. He has PENN HIP Excellent Hips, CAER/CERF eyes are normal and patellas are normal. He is clear by parentage for genetic diseases common to this breed.

Higgins has never met a stranger, whether dog or human! He loves kids but is too rough with little kids. He has an energetic, intelligent nature with lots of drive. Higgins loves doing agility, lure coursing, and fly ball. He has taken classes in and shown interest in herding, cart pulling and dock diving.

This litter yielded nine puppies! The rainbow litter has 3 black-tri, 4 blue-merle, 1 red Merle, 1 red tri—4 male, 5 female.

We expect the pups to be high quality Mini-American Shepherds. Higgins adds strong bone and shorter muzzle to balance out Navi’s working lines. Both dogs are biddable, high drive, and family friendly. Soft working coats are expected.

This litter would be perfectly paired with an active family that wants a dog to join them on adventures. Also, great for a single person looking for a close bond and a companion for daily walks/runs. Dog sport enthusiasts looking for a smaller flyball team member or agility/herding superstar would also be happy with this litter.
