A long time love affair with Australian Shepherds has brought us to our love of the Miniature American Shepherd and our first import into South Australia.
From Hampton Hills Miniature American Shepherds comes "Arwen" - Hampton Hills Faith Works @ Windybrae and a wonderful friendship and mentorship with her breeder, Jennifer Hampton.
MAS, as they are affectionately known, are becoming a very popular breed in the country for those of us with a love of "Aussies" who wanted something a bit smaller. To have such an excellent quality young dog as a foundation to our small breeding program, is indeed an honour and a privilege.
Several people unfamiliar with MAS have said, "Oh, she looks just like an Aussie." Indeed they should look exactly like an Australian Shepherd, only smaller.
Arwen has tested clear for Neuroaxonal Dystrophy (NAD) and non-HSF4 cataracts. The rest of her DNA testing has also now been completed and she is completely clear of all inheritable diseases. Eye clearances are done yearly (clear as of June 2024 under the ORCHID/ACES scheme) and hip & elbow xrays are to be completed some time after 2 years of age.
In time, Arwen will be bred to imported semen in close consultation with her breeder.
Our goal for our breeding program is to produce quality over quantity and dogs that best fit the breed standard and with great temperaments.
Best Ridge Miniature American Shepherds is proud to present:
Keecam Red Carpet Ready (Maya)
We are so grateful to Keecam kennels in Canada for Miss Maya as a start for our kennel's Lisa has given me the opportunity to show this little girl. Having a passion for this breed and the beautiful temperament, health and betterment. A gorgeous loving happy little dog that just wants to cuddle! She is not as active as other herding dogs, and a lot smaller than I had thought but perfect to size. Starting agility come Feb '24' will be a true test for the stamina of us both.
Maya has had her health testing, hips and elbows and also eyes to be tested annually due again Feb 2024.

In February my newest additions, Replay and Tango arrived to my farm from France. Here they join my large farm family of horses, rescue goats and chickens and my White Swiss Shepherds that I breed, show and trial under the prefix Diamondswiss. I certainly need a bigger couch! Replay and Tango are bred by the wonderful Bois Des Ternes kennels in France. Nathalie has been breeding Swiss and Miniature American Shepherds for years. Her dogs certainly stand out with their beauty, type, amazing coats and their temperament. I was so grateful to be trusted with such stunning examples of the breed. Nathalie confided that she had been watching me closely for years and could see how happy my dogs were at home and for her it was not a difficult decision. Replay Swanee River Du Bois Des Ternes has been very successful in the show ring in Europe. So far his accomplishments include: Champion of France Junior Champion of France Swiss Champion Best Male at the National Breeding - at 11 months Vice European Champion Vice World Champion BOB and Winner World Dog Show 2023 Geneva In Australia Replay is the only MAS to win BIG and R/Up BIS. Tango is a stunning girl with a thick, full coat and lots of drive but as I write this, she is snuggled on the couch! Like Replay, she is a very good example of the breed, looking very much like a small Aussie Shepherd. I have exciting plans for breeding a small number of quality and unique litters that won't be found anywhere else in Australia.
I have loved and admired "Miniature American Shepherds" for over 30 years, and it has always been on my bucket list to import and breed these beautiful dogs here in New Zealand. It is a long and expensive process to import these dogs from USA - do all the genetic testing + Hips Elbows and Eyes, I now have some beautiful foundation dogs to begin my lines of Miniature American Shepherds. I bought my first dogs for New Zealand in 2018. All my dogs are AKC registered MAS. I have a co-home breeder in Australia as well. We share 7 imported USA dogs.
Puppies available

I now have three Australian Champions, and showing another her 3 (Gucci - Morgan x Leroy) (Salsa - Chilli x Raff)(Holly - Morgan x Colt) thanks so much for those 3 breeder collaborations
Gio showing in QLD now has RN title and at 1 year will be able to complete in many more classes.
I fell in love with these little dogs, both minis and toys during my numerous visits to the United States. Could not believe the breed was not here at that time and so begun the search and import process
I imported my first (AKC) American Kennel Club registered bitch Morgan arriving In Nov 2020. Second two Harlow and Raff (sire of 5 dogs currently showing) in April 2022 and other bitches Lynley, Kaia and Ari AND TILLY RECENTLY from New Zealand. I am very proud of my dogs and their pedigrees and hope to further improve the breed here using imported semen from Champion lines. I have done full genetic testing of all my breeding dogs, full panel, CDDY, NAD, Hip/elbow and eyes
I am a small breeder of only MAS, living on 100 acres where we breed and raise cattle and cutting horses. My dogs are all with me either inside while I do bookwork or out on the farm enjoying running around freely and swimming in the dams. I breed both show and agility prospects, but focus on temperament then type. My dogs are low drive and do not need excessive exercise
