Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind Mockingbirds American Minis located in Clinton, MO. We do our best to socialize and acclimate each litter so we’re able to offer all-around healthy and well-mannered puppies! Our dogs stole our hearts right from the start and we found ourselves wanting to get more involved. Breeding was a natural next step and we haven’t looked back since! We love to train, show and love Miniature American Shepherds. They are such an amazing and fun breed.

Amy’s experience

  • What makes Amy’s program special

    I find it extremely important to raise the best dogs possible to improve the MAS breed. That is my goal. I think the temperament, confirmation and health should be equally important in a dog. I give my puppies the best start they can possibly have with the love and attention I give them.
