River T Miniature American Shepherds

River T Miniature American Shepherds is a Red Bluff, CA breeder of miniature American shepherds in Tehama County and the Sacramento Valley near Redding. Tracy Andersen has devoted more than a decade to the breed and participates in regional club events while ensuring each dog meets recommended health clearances.

Puppies are raised in a home environment with daily socialization and exposure to family life. They enjoy playtime in secure outdoor areas that encourage confidence and curiosity. Adults have access to secure pasture areas and indoor climate-controlled spaces, ensuring comfort through seasonal changes. Breeding pairs are chosen for stable temperament and sound structure, informed by hip and eye clearances.

Some adults have earned obedience titles and therapy dog certifications, showcasing their gentle temperament. Potty training and basic obedience begin before placement to ease transition, and families appreciate the ongoing guidance from Tracy Andersen.
