Mountain Cross Minis Titles And Fun Stuff
A Place Where Miniature American Shepherds Rule!
Dustee is our first Miniature Australian Shepherd and is now a registered Miniature American Shepherd. Because of this girl, we fell in love with the breed. Smart, sassy, beautiful and athletic she has accomplished several things in her life of 7 years- and is still working with me on how to train her ;) Our son, Jesse, and I worked on training this fine girl in obedience, rally, agility and herding. So far she has earned an Obedience title and best movement in her class with MASCA, several awards with MAMASC, her first leg in AKC Beginner Novice Obedience, first leg in AKC Rally Novice A, Trick Dog Novice and Intermediate and her first leg in Herding Trialed. We are so proud of what this girl has done and will continue to do. UPDATE- Dustee earned her Trick Dog Novice and Intermediate on 10/5/2020 :)
Dustee is gentle and sweet with the puppies our other girls have. She makes a fine puppy sitter but will never have puppies of her own.
Latigos Mountain Cross Night Magic "Taun Taun"
Taun Taun earned his Instinct Tested Certificate on November 16th, 2014! We are so proud of this boy and love his herding drive. Latigo has provided us with this wonderful boy and he has provided back. He has sired two beautiful litters since and will be returning to the Herding ring soon!
InCH Mountain Cross Just For Kix With Woodridge "Kix"
Kix is a 2015 progeny of Taun Taun and Hope. He has been in the show ring a few times: earning 5 points towards his AKC Championship. He has earned his IntBaby with IABCA! According to his current owners he, unfortunately, went over sized before he could finish his CH title. Although he was expected to earn some performance titles his owner decided to not pursue his performance career. He has a fantastic personality and is beautiful too! Absolutely LOVE the personality on this boy. Wish he were home with us!
Dash is also a 2015 progeny of Taun Taun and Hope. She has been in the show ring a few times: earning 2 points towards her AKC Championship. Dash is no longer with Latigo or Kim but, I hear, lives in a nice farm home where she can run as much as her heart desires. Gorgeous girl! Would love information on this girl so if anyone has something to share please contact me.
