One of my Gottabe puppies - now @ 15 years of age, Gottabe's Sparkling Cider, OTCH, MACH7. Owned & loved by Kay G.
August, 2015 - Just 3 weeks from a long awaited re-union with Cider, @ 15 she passed on to the rainbow bridge. Gottabe's Sparkling Cider retired from agility at the ripe age of 12 with her MACH 7. She was the first Miniature American Shepherd to have completed both the highest obedience title of OTCH, AND a MACH in agility 7 times. Although I was unable to see Cider, I was able to finally meet Kay @ the MASCUSA Nationals in St. Louis, MO, September 17, 2015

- our passion is producing dogs with both beauty, and the ablity to perform in both the conformation & performance ring. In addition, we breed only those dogs passing extensive health clearances. We are not large, only exclusive and enduring. Our dogs truly have it all!!
Our story:
Gottabe was established in 1994 with our first aussie, Jazmin from Sunshine Aussies. Our first breeding was in 2000 & produced, Mult. CH. Gottabe's Spot The Winner, Multi. CH. Simon Says Fairplay, OTCH MACH7 Multi-agility-titled Gottabe's Sparking Cider, and our wonderful Gottabe's Ima Makin U C Red. These crosses started the foundation of my kennel. Gottabe's goal for my minis is to consistently produce wonderful, affectionate, intelligent, healthy, biddable Aussies with a height range of 16-18" and weighing 22-35 pounds (though we don't always get what we want - ask any parent of a teenager!). We are now on our 4th generation and have produced many multi-titled conformation, agility, herding, obedience, Rally-O, and family companion extraordinaire! In addition, ALL of our breeding dogs have multiple generation health clearances also. Located in Nevada, but serve CA, OR, UT, WA and most of the US (including Alaska) & even "over the pond" in the UK!!
