Welcome to Headline Miniature American Shepherds!

Thank you for taking the time to research the breed and to find a reputable breeder that works for you. Here at Headline, we are proud members of the Canadian Kennel Club (CKC), the American Kennel Club (AKC), and the Miniature American Shepherd of Canada (MASCAN). For the past two years I have been acting as the President of MASCAN and was the Vice President for three years leading up to that. I have been very involved in the MAS community since 2018 and devote everything I can to my dogs and my small breeding program here in Peterborough Ontario.

We do not run a large kennel operation. All of our MAS live in home with us so that we can truly understand their temperaments, assess their structures, and ensure they are top quality MAS to be in our breeding program. All of our MAS get genetic testing for MDR1, PRA-PRCD, DM, HC(HSF4), CMR1, CEA, HUU, & NAD as well as OFA testing for hips, elbows, & patellas in addition to CEAR eye exams. We want to make sure that we are producing top quality MAS with all of the health screening we can do!

Health testing is just part of what we do! Temperament is one of the most important things for us. We are constantly being praised for the temperament of our dogs and puppies and want to ensure that we are breeding resilient MAS. When keeping dogs in our breeding program or researching dogs to import to our program we are making sure that they have exceptional temperaments, beautiful structure, and all health clearances. Everything we do is well thought out.

Please have a look around our website and social media and do not hesitate to contact us to learn more about our dogs and how we can best support you in finding the perfect MAS to add to your family.
