Little Creek

Little Creek, Australian shepherds and miniature American shepherds in Deep Run, NC, serves Craven County near New Bern. Nancy Little runs a program built on long-term commitment to breed standards, following club guidelines and arranging health screenings for hips, eyes and temperament.

At Little Creek, adult dogs live in the family home and have supervised access to fenced grassy pastures. Puppies are introduced early to children, guests and household sounds, and they take part in weekly handling sessions for calm, confident behavior.

Regular vet checkups and a balanced diet of whole foods support steady growth and clear training readiness.

The breeding stock demonstrates natural herding drive and steady temperaments that suit both hobby farms and active families. Attention to quiet transitions between indoor and outdoor life helps prepare youngsters for varied living situations.
