About Us
Krystle & Jeremy Best
Our acerage property is located at the foothills of the Toowoomba Range in sunny Queensland, Australia.
Bstridge Miniature American Shepherds was established in 2023 with the arrival of our first import Maya - Aust Ch Keecam Red Carpet Ready (imp Canada).
We have since imported various other dogs from Canada, New Zealand and Hawaii to expand our gene pool. We look forward to importing more dogs and introducing new lines into our breeding program in the near future.
We show our dogs in conformation, along with trialling in other dog sports such as sprint dog and lure coursing. All of our adult dogs are health tested before breeding and careful consideration is taken when planning upcoming litters.
Our litters are raised as part of the family and are exposed to children, other dogs and everyday sights and sounds to prepare them for life as confident companions, sport or show dogs. Please feel free to contact us with any questions or queries if you are interested in learning more about our program and any upcoming litters.
We do not always have puppies available, but we welcome enquiries for current and future litters and encourage anyone interested in a perspective puppy to reach out with any questions you may have about our wonderful breed.
Parent Health Testing
The parents of our litters are carefully selected and are typically proven in either conformation showing or dog sports. We believe that temperament, form and function are of utmost importance to meet the Miniature American Shepherd Breed Standard.
Our breeding dogs are:
-
Dogs Australia registered
-
Hip and elbow scored
-
Annual eye screened by a specialist veterinary ophthalmologist
-
Fully DNA profiled according to the current recommended breed profile
-
Up to date with annual wellness checks
Raising Our Litters
All of our puppies are raised in our home with exposure to children, dogs and everyday household sights and sounds from an early age.
We use Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) protocols. Our puppies are handled daily from birth to help prepare them for the real world.
ENS helps our puppies learn how to recover and build resiliency in uncertain situations and in stressful environments.
If you want a puppy with a strong start to life we have an excellent puppy program, we believe that by helping lay a well-rounded foundation encourages them to flourish into balanced, social and adaptable adults.
