📟 Matrix - Blue merle bicolor male, very minimal white. He has two brown eyes.

Matrix is a happy and laid back puppy who will go with the flow and enjoys being part of family life. He is a happy puppy, who enjoys being carried, snuggling his people, and laying upside down in your arms. You can do anything with him - he’s a real teddy bear!

He enjoys being groomed and has been blow dried too - which is good, as this boy had a lot of coat! Matrix is crate training at the moment, and is also very good at house training - understanding to go to the toilet outside after we take him out once he has eaten or woken up from a sleep.

He likes food, and is impartial to toys. To be honest, tugging seems like a lot of work, when he could be being carried, having a snooze, or sitting pretty for a photo.

Matrix enjoys meeting new people and other animals. He is very relaxed about life, and will happily snooze while things are going on around him!

He would make an ideal family dog and is the very definition of an easygoing and laid lack MAS.

🕹️ Java - Red tricolor male with minimal white, and strong tan points. Little Java is a baby version of Grandad Yondu.

Java is fairly mature for his age. He seems like he’s been here before and seen the world already! He is a happy and laid back puppy who will go with the flow. He is a happy puppy, who enjoys being carried, snuggling his people.

Java is sweet, and is a watcher, rather than a doer. So is never a troublemaker. He will happily take himself off for a sleep, and regulate his energy. He is equally a big fan of toys! He adores playing a game of tug and will enjoy having toys as a training reward.

Java is crate training at the moment, and is also very good at house training - understanding to go to the toilet outside after we take him out once he has eaten or woken up from a sleep.

Java enjoys being around other animals and would likely enjoy a canine sibling. He gets on well with all dogs, both puppies and even adult dogs that are much larger than him.

He would make an ideal companion, or sporting prospect.

Trojan is a really fun puppy. He is very confident and enjoys interacting with people and other animals. He’s adventurous and is excited to explore new areas, and head outside into the garden.

The Cyber Monday litter are now 8 weeks of age

💻 Gigabyte - Blue merle female with a white blaze, and strong tan points.

Gigabyte is a ball of fun! While some dogs love either their snuggles or exploring, Gigabyte lives the best of both worlds! Whether it is checking out the newest toy, playing with her siblings, or laying on your lap for cuddles, she is so happy to interact with everything! She’s a confident puppy and loves bouncing around new environments to get a glimpse at what’s going on.

Gigabyte is a big fan of toys, leaves, and anything else she can pick up and run around with. She’s especially good at settling down on the couch at night for some snuggles after (the humans’) dinner and will fall asleep in your arms.

Check out her eyes - she has two different color brown eyes, with her right being darker than her left! Giga suits a variety of homes, and will excel in a family environment as well as performance.

The Cyber Monday litter are now 8 weeks of age

👾 Pixel - blue merle bicolor female with a small white blaze, collar and paws.

Pixel is a fun and outgoing puppy who just loves life! She is very confident in all scenarios and is ready to go and have fun. She has a curious nature, and was more than happy to have the force drier on her after watching some of our other dogs being groomed for shows recently.

She enjoys watching what is going on and c***s her head to the side them when doing so. If you bring out a toy you have her attention immediately - she enjoys a good game of tug and will love a tug toy being used as a reward!

As driven as she is, she’s equally cuddly too. She will be the first to your lap for a cuddle and will happily be carried round upside down in your arms. She definitely has the teddy bear traits of granddad, Yondu.

Pixel is really striking to look at and is sure to turn heads. She’d do equally well in sporting and show venues, and is heading to another program where she will be loved and cherished by one of their daughters. Together they’ll be on a performance adventure together in disc freestyle, obedience and agility! We can’t wait to see the fun they have together.

Cyber is very confident and sure of herself. She enjoys adventuring, eating and getting attention from her humans the most. She’s a people dog, wants to be centre of attention and enjoys the interaction.

Cyber has always been a little ahead of everyone else, first to sit up, walk and start toilet training. She’s easy going, the do anything with and take anywhere kind of dog. She’ll be a lot of fun and easy to train.

Shes got some smart classical markings, so will be flashy as an adult, and is going to make a really stunning family companion. We have lots of puppies headed to current MAS owners from this litter, and Cyber will be enjoying living with a MAS sister of her own. Lucky girl!

Looking Back on 2024: A Marvelous Year with MarvelMAS Miniature American Shepherds
As we wrap up 2024, it’s time to reflect on what has truly been an outstanding year for MarvelMAS. From new titles to new bloodlines, this year was filled with unforgettable milestones and moments that made us incredibly proud of our dogs, and the owners of the puppies we have produced over the years. Here’s a look back at some of the highlights:�
1. New Bloodlines and Litters:
We made a concerted effort to bring in new bloodlines this year. Despite the confirmed closure of the AKC stud books, we were fortunate to bring in three additional bloodlines to Mini Americans. We introduced new genetics by pairing outside stud dogs with Spider and Detour. Additionally, we continued to strengthen Forge’s lines through his son Grimm, pairing him with Monarch, Sovereign, and Vogue. These new bloodlines will help us continue to enhance the breed and ensure a bright future for not only MarvelMAS, but the breeders who have puppies from those litters.
While we plan to focus on AKC pairings going forward, we will continue on with limited ASDR pairings in the future too.

2.New Champions:�We focused on conformation this year and are proud to announce that Forge, Billy, Firefly, Dragonfly, Legacy, and Legend all earned their well-deserved Champion titles! Ruby, Wolfie, and Sassy additionally earned their puppy titles. We couldn’t be more proud of their accomplishments this year - their confidence and bubbly personalities come across in the ring.

3.Multiple Group Wins and IABCA Best in Show:�A special congratulations to Forge, his daughter Ruby, and Spider’s daughter Sassy for each achieving multiple Group wins and IABCA Best in Show titles this year!

4. Puppy Points Towards POA:�The future is bright for Ingot and Midas, who made strides towards their Puppy of Achievement (POA) points. These two rising stars have shown off their natural talent and potential in everything they do, with three Group 1, two Group 2, five best of breed, and 2 best opposite s*x wins between them, gained in just 3 weekends. We can’t wait to see what’s next for them!

5.FastCat Achievements:�We headed back to FastCat in December after taking the year away to focus on litters. Congratulations to Dragonfly for titling this year! Also to Sovereign who is still running 26.7 mph, or 7.65 s, despite having the year off to have a litter in 2024. Additionally, we’re really excited to see her daughter Ingot running, she’s hitting 9.5 s at 6 months of age for a full run in training! She’ll be ready to compete in June of 2025.

6.Star Puppy Awards:�Special shoutout to Ingot and Wolfie, who earned Star Puppy titles this year. Their bright personalities and eagerness to learn have made them really fun to work. We are excited to see them continue to grow and develop into the incredible adults we know they will be.

7. Turkey Trot Success:�Our MarvelMAS pups showed their holiday spirit in the Turkey Trot this year, with many participating in this fun, festive event. Definitely a highlight of the season!

8. Triumphs for our Puppies in Homes:�From agility training, to rally, dock diving, to hiking and travelling from state to star, assistance work to being a faithful family companion, 2024 was a year full of growth. It’s hard to single out specific achievements as whether they titled or not, each has been on their own personal journey of growth. We’re so proud of the progress each of our puppy families made, and we look forward to even more training successes in 2025. �
As we step into 2025, we’re excited for more successes, adventures, and heartwarming moments with our MarvelMAS pups. Thank you to everyone who has been a part of this incredible year. Here’s to another year of love, joy, and excellence with our Miniature American Shepherds!
