True herders in spite of their compact size, Miniature American Shepherds are bright, self-motivated workers and endearingly loyal and lively companion dogs who have an affinity for horses.

The Miniature American Shepherd is a small size herding dog that originated in the United States. This highly versatile, energetic dog makes an excellent athlete with superior intelligence and a willingness to please those to whom he is devoted.

Are you interested in this breed? The OFA, working with the Miniature American Shepherd Club of the USA, recommends the following basic health screening tests for all breeding stock:
- Hip Dysplasia (OFA, FCI or PennHip)
- ACVO Eye Exam
- Progressive retinal atrophy (prcd PRA)
- MDR1
- HSF4 (Hereditary Cataracts)
- NAD (Neuroaxonal Dystrophy)
Optional but recommended:
- Elbow Dysplasia
- Patellar Luxation
- Dentition
- CEA (Collie eye anomaly)
- DM (Degenerative myelopathy)
- CDDY/CDPA (Chondodystrophy with or without chondrodysplasia)
- CMR1 (Canine multifocal retinopathy)
- HU (Hyperuricosuria)

Dogs meeting these basic health screening requirements are issued Canine Health Information Center (CHIC) numbers. For potential puppy buyers, CHIC certification is a good indicator the breeder responsibly factors good health into their selection criteria.

We had the pleasure of presenting Five Pines Carolina Chrome, our 2024 Cosmeo X Black Dancer German Riding Pony c**t, at the Oldenburg Horse Breeders' Society and Weser-Ems Ponies inspection at Keystone Farms yesterday. Our thanks to Rabbit Hill Training & Sales for showing him off at his absolute best, Jasmine Heinlein Photography for capturing it all on camera and to the inspectors for awarding him Premium status. Our congratulations go out to his owner. Pictured here with his dam, Hilkens Schwarze Hexe.
