***AKC Bred with Heart***
***MASCA Hall of Fame Breeder***

Our Mini American/Mini Aussie Females

Our Females are evaluated STRICTLY at 8 weeks old then again at 2 years old to be sure they should be in our breeding program. We are looking for great structure that can win in the show ring, personality/temperament to do performance events and hold up for many years in athletic events as well as clear health testing.  We only keep balanced, outgoing personalities in our program for the best chances of that in their puppies. Most of our pet puppies are show/breed quality but we can't and won't keep them all!  Be sure to consider 74 Ranch for your next 'Best Friend'!!!

     ***ALL OUR DOGS ARE WICKETED for height - the heights listed are ACCURATE!***
