Our first year with AKC as Miniature American Shepherds was very successful and fun!!  Here are some of our accomplishments:

GCH Kadel's-N-MJ's Blue Ain't Your Color (Urban) got his Grand Championship
CH 74 Ranch Tell N It Like It Is (Candor) got her Championship and is almost 1/2 way to her grand. She also got her CGC title.
74 Ranch Pursue N Perfection (Lexus) got Puppy of Achievement and 3 points towards her championship
Quail Ridge Malibu Babe (sired by Chase - Jack X EnV out of Suzie - Indy X Echo) is 1/2 way to her championship in just 2 weekends of showing.

Our lines and some of our dogs did a lot in the Mini Aussie world too!  A great year!

2020 will bring even more.  We plan to start Rally and will get more CGC's on our dogs.

WE only had 2 dogs shown this year and entered in the Top 10 this year but wow, our lines did great! Thank you to everyone who loves and appreciates our lines so much they would get out there and show them off !!!

All the dogs in red were either bred by 74 Ranch or come from our lines.  We want to thank our co-own/pet/partner homes for getting these dogs in the ring and showing them off!

74 Ranch Mini Aussies wants to thank Kristy Allison and 74 Ranch Wigglebutt Black Label for their Advanced Rally and championship titles; Jared Pritchard and Carrie Pritchard for 2 Herding titles with CH 74 Ranch Talk N Up A Storm; Karla N Scott Coffman for their championship with 74 Ranch Savannah Spice. Other dogs that helped us get our Hall of Fame include: MAJC 74 Ranch Union Jack - grand champion; 74 Ranch Tell N It Like It Is, grand champion; 74 Ranch Hanker N For A Wigglenbutt, champion; 74 Ranch Shoot N For the Stars, Grand Champion; 74 Ranch Come N Dance with me, champion and 74 Ranch Wigglebutt Echo in Time for grand champion, open NADAC agility, Advanced Rally and several herding titles. We truly appreciate you all giving our dogs great homes and letting them show to their potential!!!
We also thank Rachel Hyer of Sagonige Mini Aussies as she handled my babies so beautifully in conformation! They LOVE her, she's so good to them! Betsy Hyer also handled a few (like Union Jack to his Grand) so we thank her too!
And we do NOT want to forget to thank Wigglebutt Aussies (Bill and Angie Ogle) for allowing us to use fun-loving, crazy Lucas :) , Ridgestar Aussies (Mona Cooper) for our gorgeous Jack, Heartland Kennel (Karen Oldfather) for Brooke, Boldheart/A Kings Castle for letting us use Doc and Sagonige Kennels for several AWESOME foundation dogs for our program to get to this point.
There were several high level agility titles our dogs got as Mini Americans but those, unfortunately, did not count towards this - that doesn't mean we don't appreciate all your hard work and keeping in touch with us on your dogs accomplishments, thank you!

74 Ranch Mini Aussies needed 1 more herding title to get MASCA Hall of Fame Breeder and we achieved 4 titles on Sept 16, 2017!!!  So... we sent in the application for Hall of Fame and were awarded it!  Our biggest goal has been achieved!  Thank you to all our co-owns and clients who helped us achieve this high award.
