About Us

Located in Eastern North Carolina, outside of Washington, NC, we are a family-run breeding program dedicated to producing healthy, well-tempered Miniature American Shepherds (also known as Toy and Mini Australian Shepherds or "Toy Aussies") and German Shorthaired Pointers. Our passion for these wonderful breeds drives our commitment to providing families with loving, loyal companions.

​

As a family, we take pride in raising our dogs with the highest standards of care. Each of our dogs is health-tested, up to date on vaccinations, and lives an active, enriched lifestyle. They are cherished members of our family, sharing our daily lives and enjoying ample attention, exercise, and affection. Every dog is individually paired with a family member, ensuring they receive the love and care they deserve.

​

Our Commitment to Quality and Care

We are dedicated to raising well-rounded, healthy puppies with excellent temperaments that adhere to breed standards. Every litter is the result of careful planning, with both the sire and dam chosen from exceptional, health-tested lines. From conception to delivery, we pour our hearts into every stage of the puppies' development, ensuring they receive the best care and attention possible.

​

Our puppies are raised in a loving home environment, exposed to everyday household sounds, and socialized early to foster confident, well-adjusted companions. They begin crate training, Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS), and litter box training to give them a head start in their new homes. Each puppy comes with regular deworming, first vaccinations, a microchip, a genetic health guarantee, registration paperwork, and a goody bag.

​

Our Breeds

Both the Miniature American Shepherd and the German Shorthaired Pointer are active, intelligent, and affectionate breeds that thrive in homes that can provide social, mental and physical stimulation. Both breeds are wonderful companions for active individuals or families. Known for their love for their humans, they thrive on attention & affection and make devoted & loyal pets. 

​

We focus on breeding healthy dogs with natural athleticism, sociability, and the temperament to be both wonderful family companions, as well as eager partners in outdoor adventures like hiking, camping, and dog sports. We keep natural tails on our puppies & do not dock tails or remove dew claws. Some of our Miniature American Shepherd puppies are born with a bobtail as we do have that gene in our program. Our goal is to produce versatile, sociable dogs that excel in any environment.

​

Our Toy Australian Shepherd/Miniature American Shepherds are registered with the ASDR or dual registered with the ASDR & AKC. Our German Shorthaired Pointers are AKC registered. All of our puppies come with the appropriate registration paperwork ensuring they are recognized as part of these outstanding breeds.

​

We are committed to providing families with healthy, well-tempered, and loving puppies that will bring joy, adventure, and companionship for years to come.
