These fluffy, soft and oh-so-lovable breeds make for ideal best friends.
These dogs have the potential to be wonderful companions for your whole family with the right training.
While no dog is completely hypoallergenic, these breeds shed less hair and dander, meaning fewer sneezes.
Members of our community prioritize the well-being of their dogs above all else. Good Breeders are passionate about the health of their dogs, providing necessary care to give them the best chance at a long and healthy life.
Our partners do their best to make sure their dogs comfortably transition into your home. From playing with enrichment toys to proper socialization, they work hard to ensure each dog has a shot at a well-adjusted life.
Irresponsible sources lead to inhumane treatment of dogs. Together, we can put an end to irresponsible practices, and give all dogs the happy, healthy, belly rub-filled lives they deserve.
We live on a big farm in South West Montana and love to spend the days outside, running around with our dogs. All my adults are extensively health tested and bred for temperament and structure. My dogs can be happy anywhere – in the show ring at home or on the couch.

We believe in raising show quality puppies for companion pet homes. Our dogs are part of our family. They hike with us, play with us, and yes, oftentimes even sleep on our beds. They love to give love and be loved. They are exactly what we hoped our goldens would be - the perfect family dogs...

As a veterinarian, health is a priority for me in any litter that I breed. My Miniature American Shepherds receive all of the recommended health testing (and more) to ensure that I produce the healthiest puppies possible for the families that trust me to raise their new companion.
