More about Julie

  • Why Julie started breeding

    I have always wanted to raise Mini American Shepherds. I bought my first girl about 5 yrs ago. But at age 3 she died in my arms with a disease that couldn’t be detected until an autopsy was performed. At that time I promised myself I would raise healthy puppies with all testing being done and vaccinations done on time.
