Dipper - Miniature American Shepherd Female Puppy For Sale in GREENVILLE, Florida, USA

Dipper has opinions. She is a calm, kind and affectionate little girl who genuinely loves being with her people, but she does not feel the need to be in the middle of every bit of activity. Dipper is a thinker. She is perfectly happy to sploot nearby, watch what is going on and decide whether the current adventure is worthy of her participation. When she does engage, she engages beautifully. And if there is a good belly rub available, all thoughtful decision-making immediately ends. She will quite literally stop, drop and roll. She is affectionate and people-oriented without being demanding, and she is also showing a lovely bit of independence. She enjoys playing with other dogs but does not appear to need another dog to keep her entertained or comfortable. Dipper has been intentionally raised with extensive socialization and enrichment. She has experienced children and adults, other dogs, water, outdoor adventures, different surfaces, household and farm activity, grooming, crates, new environments and plenty of opportunities to explore and build confidence. She is crate trained, travels quietly, is litter box trained and is working on house training. This litter is from our Ember x Bobby McGee cross, combining established Miniature American Shepherd lines selected with temperament, structure, health and versatility in mind. Dipper is sired by an AKC Champion, and her dam is a titled companion-event dog who also works as a medication alert dog. Both parents are fully health tested. Temperament is a major focus of our breeding program. Dipper would be a wonderful match for someone looking for a thoughtful, affectionate companion who enjoys being part of her person's life without needing to be the center of it.
