WELCOME TO BIRCHVIEW
MINIATURE AMERICAN SHEPHERDS
(formerly known as miniature australian
shepherds)
All
the pups have found their forever homes
At Birchview Kennel, our puppies are bred for temperament,
health, and conformation giving them the foundation they need to make
them outstanding working dogs and family pets. The combination of ancestors
of both the sire and the dam is carefully evaluated with the goal of
improving each subsequent generation.
Our dogs have competed and titled in conformation, agility, obedience,
herding and flyball. I have placed dogs who have gone on to be therapy
and service dogs and even one who is a certified reading companion at
a local grade school. Birchview dogs can do it all.
The dogs we use in breeding have pedigrees that possess great depth
of health clearances that include a consideration of each parent and
grandparent's own littermates. That means an even stronger health and
temperament outcome for a puppy. All of the dogs I use for breeding
have passed their OFA clearance for hip dysplasia and have passed yearly
eye exams by a Certified Canine Ophthamologist. Additionally our dogs
are tested for the M1DR mutation and PRA.
In addition to genetics, the most important factors in the health of
our "Mini's" will be the care it receives both as a puppy
and as an adult. Birchview puppies are raised in the house where they
are well socialized with children, other dogs and cats, and a variety
of adults. The puppies will have started with housebreaking, crate training,
and car rides before going to their new homes.

To maintain the best health for our Mini Ameries, we prescribe to a
limited vaccination protocol as well as feeding a natural diet. Every
effort is made to insure each puppy will be destined for a long, happy,
and healthy life.
