Crush — Red Merle Male
Meet Crush, a gorgeous red merle Mini American Shepherd boy born May 12, 2026. Crush has been given some extra time to grow and show us who he really is, and we are now ready to find the right family for him.
We intentionally waited longer than usual to advertise this litter. Between some previously scheduled travel and our desire to watch these puppies mature before making our own selections, we chose not to rush the process. The extra time has allowed us to get to know their personalities, temperaments and individual strengths much better — and we are excited to finally introduce Crush!
Crush has been raised with lots of hands-on interaction and exposure and is at a wonderful age to transition into his new home.
Want to meet Crush first?
We are happy to arrange a Meet & Greet so prospective families can spend time with Crush, interact with him and see whether he feels like the right fit for their family.
We are also offering an optional puppy training program at a discounted rate for families purchasing one of the puppies from this litter. This is a great option for families who would like Crush to get a head start on manners, crate training, household routines and foundational skills before coming home.
If you think Crush might be the puppy you’ve been waiting for, we’d love to hear a little about you, your family and the kind of companion you’re looking for.
