Sprite — Miniature American Shepherd • Red Merle Female
Meet Sprite, a beautiful Miniature American Shepherd red merle girl, born May 12, 2026. She is part of our soda-themed litter and is now ready to begin the search for her 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.
Sprite has been examined by our veterinarian, is microchipped, is up to date on vaccinations, and has already been started on heartworm prevention.
Come Meet Sprite
We are happy to arrange a Meet & Greet for interested families. Come spend some time with Sprite, interact with her, and see whether she 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 Crate and Leash Familiarization Program — $500
Normally $700
A focused one-week program where Sprite gets a strong head start on crate routine and leash introduction, helping set the foundation for a smooth transition into her new home.
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 Sprite for family life.
Sprite 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 Sprite 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.
