Sharon Cannon Shadow Fox Farm Miniature American Shepherds

Sharon Cannon Shadow Fox Farm Miniature American shepherds is based in Hume, VA, in Rappahannock County and the Shenandoah Valley near Winchester. All adult dogs are health-screened and undergo genetic testing recommended for Miniature American shepherds through state-accredited laboratories. Puppies grow up indoors with daily socialization, quiet playtime, supervised exposure to visitors, common household sounds and basic leash training.

The farm’s mix of open pastures, shaded paddocks and wooded areas gives dogs room to explore, socialize and practice herding instincts under supervision. Sharon emphasizes steady temperament and trainability, pairing sound physical health with a balanced, family-friendly disposition suited to active homes. Regular veterinary checks, home-based care, natural feeding practices and gentle handling shape her holistic husbandry philosophy. This home-based program reflects family values and respect for the breed’s heritage, with multiple generations living alongside the dogs.
