Bouchard's Best Shepherds would like you to meet Bernard. Bernard is an AKC Registered Miniature American Shepherd. Bernard is 40 pounds and sadly for us, a bit big for our females. We kept him to use as a stud but he just got too big for our smaller females. Our females are around 18-25 pounds. Bernie is super sweet, confident and just a big lug. We truly love his temperament and disposition and would love for him to have a family of his own. Raised with kids in our home. He is a good ole boy. He is UTD on shots and will have complete vet check before leaving. BREEDERS! He is available with full breeding rights for $2800.00 and has an impressive pedigree. You are welcome to pick him up at our home OR our Pet Nanny April Brady will deliver to your door in her mini van. I have been working with April for 30 years. She is the only person I trust to deliver our puppies and my clients LOVE her. The airlines are a mess which we realized years ago.
