The Miniature American Shepherd is a bright, agile, and affectionate breed originally developed for its compact size and versatile working ability. Highly intelligent and eager to please, these dogs excel in a variety of settings—from companion homes to competitive sports arenas. Their loyalty, trainability, and moderate energy levels make them well-suited for active families who want a dog that can keep up with their lifestyle while also enjoying downtime at home.

At Sonnenhügel Kennel, our Miniature American Shepherds are carefully selected from pedigrees that emphasize sport performance, temperament, and sound structure. Many of our Minis come from sport-oriented lines, with some also carrying show lineage. Puppies are typically placed in homes that enjoy an active lifestyle, whether as beloved family pets, agility prospects, or competitive sport partners. We also retain select pups for our own sports program, ensuring our lines continue to reflect the drive, structure, and temperament that define the breed.
