"MAUI" IS AVAILABLE!

Young Maui (Puma X Rio) is a beautiful 1 year old, neutered black tri male with stunning copper and a full white collar, who is looking for the perfect forever pet/rally/obedience home.
He has excellent focus and is very easily trained and will BOND DEEPLY with his family.
He's what we call a "MAXI" Mini American Shepherd, meaning he is about 2" taller (20" tall and about 30lbs) than the breed standard allows and is neutered, UTD on all shots, house trained, and crate trained and chipped. He was being trained as a service dog so he knows several commands! It's quite a list! He'd be a great pet for an ACTIVE family with NO small children (teenagers are OK) or a great obedience/performance dog. He is very biddable and smart and has excellent manners in the home. He is very sweet and will be a very loving partner for some lucky family.
If you don't have a large solid fenced yard, please don't inquire. I will not place him in a home with an electric fence or in an apartment.
He was raised on a farm so is familiar with farm animals. He gets along well with dogs and cats.
Serious inquiries only please!
You will need to fill out a "puppy questionnaire" asking specifically for Maui.
Call or text Tracy for more information and price at 615-476-1644
He is located in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.

Miniature American Shepherds are wonderful companions. They are intelligent, versatile and loving dogs in a manageable size. They love to be with their humans, whether it is watching TV on the couch, playing ball, hiking in the woods, herding on the farm, doing obedience, lure coursing, agility, barn hunt, or in the conformation ring. They are so loving that they are great as therapy dogs as well. Go here to learn more about this new AKC herding group breed!

Here is an AKC produced video introducing the AKC Miniature American Shepherd.

Wanted to tell you again what an absolutely amazing job you did with this girl (Choo). I can see the hard work and care you put in to raising these puppies.

"He (Koda) is doing so well. He always asks to go out to potty and sleeps all night. He is super smart. We have sit and down mastered. :) He loves his crate. He goes right in and waits for his treat." -Anne
