Barq — Miniature American Shepherd • Male
Meet Barq, a handsome Miniature American Shepherd boy from our soda-themed litter who is now ready to find his forever family!
We intentionally waited a little longer than usual to advertise this litter. Between previously scheduled travel and wanting additional time to watch the puppies grow, develop, and show us their individual personalities before making our own selections, we chose not to rush the process. That extra time has also given these puppies more opportunity for handling, socialization, and everyday experiences with us.
Barq has been examined by our veterinarian, is microchipped, has age-appropriate vaccinations on board, and has already been started on heartworm prevention.
Come Meet Barq
We are happy to arrange a Meet & Greet for interested families. Come spend some time with Barq, interact with him, and see whether he feels like the right match for your home.
Special Training Options — Just for This Litter
Because these puppies are a little older, we are offering special discounted training options exclusively for this litter:
**1-Week Creat and Leash familiarization program— $**500
Normally $700
A focused one-week stay where Barq gets a strong head start on crate routine, leash introduction.
2-Week Puppy Boot Camp — $1,500
Normally $2,000
Our two-week boarding and training Puppy Boot Camp provides more in-depth foundational training, including crate work, leash skills, manners, and daily structure to help prepare Barq for family life.
Barq has already benefited from extra time, handling, and socialization here with us, and these training options are designed to build on that foundation.
If you think Barq might be the right Miniature American Shepherd for your family, we’d love to hear about your home, lifestyle, and what you’re looking for in your next companion.

Barq — Male
Meet Barq — named after the classic Barq’s Root Beer! 🐾 Born May 12, 2026, Barq is one of the handsome boys from this special litter and is now ready to find the family that’s just right for him.
We intentionally waited longer than usual to advertise this litter. Between previously scheduled travel and wanting the opportunity to watch these puppies grow and mature before making our own selections, we decided not to rush the process. That extra time has given us the chance to really get to know each puppy’s personality, temperament and individual strengths.
At this age, Barq has also had additional time with us for socialization, handling, routines and everyday experiences — something we consider a wonderful advantage for a young puppy preparing to join his new family.
Come meet Barq!
For families who would like to meet him before making a decision, we are happy to arrange a Meet & Greet. You’ll have an opportunity to spend time with Barq, interact with him and see whether that special connection is there.
We are also offering an optional puppy training program at a discounted rate for families purchasing a puppy from this litter. Training can give Barq an even stronger start with crate training, household routines, manners and foundational skills before he comes home.
If Barq sounds like he might be the right addition to your family, we’d love to hear a little about you, your household and what you’re looking for in your new companion.
