Battlefield

Battlefield raises miniature American shepherds in Fredericksburg, Virginia, situated in the heart of central Virginia roughly an hour south of Washington, D.C. Karen Kollmer runs the program as a non-commercial hobby breeding operation, focusing on the preservation and improvement of the breed through careful pairing rather than volume.

Health clearances are completed on all breeding dogs, and the adults are health-tested, titled, and selected for structure, temperament, and versatility. Battlefield is an AKC Breeder of Merit and Breeder of Heart, and Karen holds current membership in the Miniature American Shepherd Club of America. She previously served for many years as secretary of the Old Dominion Australian Shepherd Association and actively participates in local and national dog shows to prove her dogs against the breed standard.

Puppies are raised in the home on three wooded acres and go through Puppy Culture neurobehavioral protocols from birth. At 49 days each puppy receives the Volhard temperament test, and placements are matched to families based on compatibility and lifestyle fit. The program also produces Australian shepherds alongside the minis, with champion lines represented in both breeds.
