Mountain Cross Minis Connection

19/06/2023

Mountain Cross Minis specializes in performance and pet beauties. Though we do have some Miniature American Shepherds that have done well in the show ring we prefer to have them out playing herding, running agility or rally, being active as they were meant to be. Our dogs are just what you need if you want an active companion with an off button to cuddle or lay next to you at the end of the day. They are not for the faint of heart but for people with a heart for doing performance events, hanging around the farm, or working as a therapy dog. Check out our website to see what our dogs are involved in (http://www.mountaincrossminis.net/index.html.) They are so versatile like they are suppose to be. There are 8 puppies available on spay/neuter contracts to someone with a special need. All are within breed standard. Photos are examples of some pups looking for you to take them home.

Do any of these pups look like someone you would like to take home? Will be ready in 2 weeks. Very fun bunch of pups who will most likely make great performance dogs, therapy dogs (some of them will be good at this), etc... given the time, energy and training that will help them succeed. They are almost 9 weeks old now, have received two sets of vaccines, have had worming treatment but have not tested positive for such, have their nails trimmed regularly as well as being cuddled. They are in beginning crate/carrier and potty training stages. Please pm us for more information or email at [email protected]. Thank you!

Every now and then I come across this post. It is not only a sweet way of remembering Kris and her love for one of our pups, Zoey, but it is a reminder that above all else creating something this beautiful makes being involved as a breeder of Miniature American Shepherds the most meaningful. To me there is nothing more special that having pups with personalities that "fit" each owner's situation. It isn't about the titles, certificates or other accomplishments to us- it is about the relationships. Each of our pups have a story to tell and we LOVE to hear about them. Love you all

Not to brag but we have a girl (Zoey)who lives in Illinois. She had a story submitted to MASCUSA for a chance to earn the Goodwill Ambassador award that was determined during Nationals at Purina Farm this past week into yesterday. Unfortunately, she was not selected but this is her story- a story that touches our hearts, and those of her family, daily. This is what we live for in our breeding program. This is who we are as breeders, dog lovers and caring people. We also want to take the time to thank Kris's daughter for writing this beautiful tribute- her Mom was very special and, obviously, so is Carrie for taking Zoey into her own home.

One reason I don't like posting birthday greetings on this page is because I forget some dates. And even when I remember dates I forget to mention all the owners of my pups. My bad, my brain. Doesn't mean I love any of them any less- just means my plate is full. So to those of you I may have missed in 2021- HAPPY BIRTHDAY from your first human mom. You are truly never forgotten-- just your birthdates ;)

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Kix (Sheila), Ziva (Julie Kramer ), Dashy, Xander (Linda), Bear Dog- miss you little guy (Julie), Tweak-LuLu (Tina), Wren (my dear friend Elise). We think about you every day as each of you hold a special place in our hearts! Hope you are given some extra fun time and fun treats today

This boy is so missed. He and Joe were best pals! Love you Mountain Cross Kix- no matter where you are or who you are with you will always be remembered and loved dearly. It was a mistake letting you go but you are bringing joy to more people with your personality and puppies.

You have all done great things with these pups. We love and appreciate each and every one of you! Please post a new photo of your dogs if you are able- we would love to see how they doing

We are working on having two litters next year. Please pm me if you want to get on our waiting list-- yes, we have given in and starting one now. Both litters should be great representations of the MAS breed. Stay tuned for more announcements later :)

I was reminded today that I missed a birthday greeting :'( I try hard not to do that but July was a very hectic month for us. No excuses so here it goes! Happy big 5TH birthday to all of the "Ocean" litter pups that include: Xander (Linda), Dashy (location unknown- if anyone knows her where abouts please let me know), Lou Lou (Tina), Wren (Elise), Ziva (Julie ), Kix (Sheila) and our missed little one Bear Dog (Julie )-- you will forever be in our hearts

There is another litter from Mountain Cross Minis that is having a birthday in August! Today actually! Six years ago I was making a trip east to take care of my sister and these little ones were born under that care of my husband and a friend. None of you will ever be forgotten and will always hold a special place in our hearts. Happy Birthday Link (Yo Ortega), Little Gloria (owned by Sandrine) but now lives with a really good caregiver, Boomer (Shadowland), our little star Splash (Merry ), Blaze (Lou ), Jeanne (Cat ), Thunder (James), and two that are living in heaven, Cocoa and Itty Bitty Charlotte. You have all been a blessing to both us and your owners.

Pups born on August 8-- I know I didn't post anything but haven't forgotten about how special that day was in 2018. A sweet bunch of pups for sure. So HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Stellar (Lisa) LoLo (Taylor) Isabel (DavidNVickie) Aspen (Lisa), and Impact (Dr. Jennifer), Lakota (Tina,) and Quigley (Linda.) Your love for these pups means more than you can know.

Woo hoo! Yeah-- I am overly excited. Yes I have good reason to be. Something exciting happened this weekend. One of our pups from Wolvie and River Q'd in 1 Novice Standard class and both the Jumpers with Weaves classes. This is her first weekend of trialing! Patti Brown-- what an excellent job you are doing with Misty!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the Colorado Animal litter-- Wolvie, Beaver, Badger, Sunny, Belle and our lost little Wiley Coyote. Hope your day is going as well as you all deserve. LOVE YOU ALL BUNCHES!
