Miniature Australian Shepherd

We start potty training at around 5 weeks, give or take a bit. As part of that process, we also begin crate training and by the time puppies leave our home, they are fully crate trained. Only a few times have we had a pup leave and resist crating. Most love their crate and many will tuck themselves in from time to time when they want a break from the action.

No matter what MAS puppy you choose, it will shed and you will find ways to manage the hair. But when it comes to the quality of the pup, the best you can do is choose a reputable breeder and have support for your journey.

Whistling Ridge is the name we have chosen to identify ourselves as breeders. And the story behind it dates back, long before we adopted the name. I cannot whistle, more than a quiet airy sound one dare not even call a whistle. My wife, however, learned to whistle as a child -- much to her siblings' chagrin, at times -- and has been whistling ever since.
