Established by Milinda Riester, the kennel has welcomed miniature American shepherds for over a decade with American Kennel Club registration and comprehensive hip and eye screening.

The farm’s rural setting offers space for off-leash play, and ongoing support is available to help new owners navigate training and health questions.
