Milwin

Faith is my introduction and the foundation of my Miniature American Shepherd program. This beautiful little gal is smart, biddable, athletic and an exceptional devoted little companion.

Faith started her show career during 2016 and quickly racked up points with several Best of Breed wins from the classes getting her close to finishing her AKC championship.  We made the decision to hold off finishing her championship and instead decided to take her to the 2016 AKC Miniature American Shepherd National Specialty where Faith won Winners Bitch and Award of Merit from the Best of Breed competition.  Shortly after the Nationals she completed requirements for her AKC Grand Championship. Faith took a break from the show ring to have her first litter of puppies then she came back out on the show circuit to finish her Bronze Championship. She then had her second litter and once again came back on the show scene to finish her Silver Grand Championship.   Faith is now officially retired with the exception of an occasional appearance to show in the veteran's class at specialty shows. 

Faith is the dam of our beautiful Jake, Trudy, Melody and Sami.  Following in Faith's pawprints her son Jake won Winners Dog at 2019 AKC National Specialty and that same year Faith's daughter Trudy won Award of Merit from Best of Breed.  Faith's second litter produced our stunning Melody.  Melody won Reserve Winners Bitch at the 2021 AKC National Specialty. At the 2022 Nationals Faith's granddaughter Whitney won Reserve Winners Bitch at NWPMASC Specialty held in conjunction with the 2022 Nationals. Then at the 2023 AKC MASCUSA National Specialty Preshow her daughter Sami was awarded Winners/Best of Winners and won her class at the Nationals. Faith has more than proven herself in the showring and the whelping box with her outstanding offspring.

Faith came to us from Kathy Munson (Destiny) in Nevada.  Thank you, Kathy, for sharing this amazing little girl with me.
