Gottabe Kennels

Gottabe Kennels Information about my dogs, the history of my breeding goals and accomplishments, and a place to "brag" ;0) More information can be found on my website.

I am a lifelong dog lover with a passion for my breed, The Miniature American Shepherd. I have had Miniature Australian Shepherds, and then Miniature American Shepherds since 1998, & became the first MAS breeder judge and attained permanent status in 2016. My dogs are multi-generational health tested with an emphasis on structure, temperament, & beauty. I am also an AKC Breeder of Merit.

For those Gottabe owners in the Reno Sparks area, there is a new option for having your dogs teeth cleaned - without anesthesia. I hadn’t thought of this beforehand (sorry), and her last day is today for another 6 months, but if your dogs teeth need cleaning, shoot me a text or give me a call, and I can give you her info, the cost, and you can contact her. If not today, then when she returns as she will have your email addy. Cost is VERY reasonable.

Both Master Teddy, (who is now Pepper) & Miss Cloe (who is now Willow) have found their forever homes. The past 2 litters have all gone to Gottabe people or people who are friends/relatives of Gottabe people. Thank you to everyone who has made Gottabe the success that it is. I feel very grateful and proud that you have felt my dogs were such a great fit for your family that you have come back for another. Because of AI & privacy concerns, I will no longer post pics of any of my Gottabe family with faces. Who knew in 2000 when I created my first website that we would be where we are today in terms of the internet, privacy concerns, and the unknown of AI?

the 2nd is Chloe, a beautifully marked black tri girl with a full white collar. She is named after Chloe Zhao, a Chinese filmmaker who became the 2nd woman -and first woman of color - to win Best Director @ the 2021 Oscars. This girl is sweet, gets along with her sibs, and prefers people. Every time she sees me she stops what she is doing and runs to me. She loves cuddles, too. If you knew Ivy (her grandmother), this girl is just as sweet.

We have 2 beautiful puppies from our current litter available. The first is "Teddy" a stunning blue merle with 2 blue eyes. Teddy is named after Theodore Roosevelt, our 26th president. I don't think he's quite as adventurous as our former president, but he is a happy guy, enjoys his sibs, gives great kisses and would be a great dog in many homes.

Its been a busy past week - it started out with a fire very close to our home on a windy day. We were blessed that the wind was blowing slightly south and the firemen were able to get it under control. Thursday was an emergency trip to the vet with Mabel swollen like a Shar Pei - I dumped some childrens benedryl down her throat & broke some speed records to the vet. A steroid shot and a bit later she was able to come home but it took awhile for the swelling to go down. She acted fine the next day so another crisis averted. We still don’t know what bit her but we have black widows around here so? Then we topped the weekend off with moving pups out to their freedom kennel area and enjoying Father’s Day with a great dinner by my daughter and her fiance.

Well, the little potatoes are now full fledged puppies! From last week to this week they are now able to get out of the box, play with each other, yank and tug on the towels, recognize me, drink water from the side feeder, and their sparkling personalities are starting to shine. Unfortunately, 1 owner had to back out so I will have 2 (should know in the next week or so which) available girls. Week 5 pics are up on my Flickr page - enjoy!

We now have puppy breath at Gottabe! 4 little blessings came to us April 30th. All puppies are doing well and so is proud momma Winnie. You can view their pictures on my Flickr page, under the Jordie/Winnie album - enjoy the puppy breath:

Some ask why I don't just post the pics on Facebook. By using flickr, none of my pics can be lifted and used elsewhere. At this time none are available, but we may have 1 @ 6 weeks.

Well, we’ve been homebound due to rotten weather & emergency oral surgery. We were to have attended the Shasta KC show, but it was only 1 day after my surgery and I was just not up to it. And, it snowed in Anderson! Oh well.

We are also expecting the patter of little feet. Ms Winnie & Jordie are expecting and the due date is May 1. Hoping to get out at least 1 weekend before the event but also need to work at getting my garden in shape.

Feb 15-16, 2025 Mult. CH Gottabe's The Devine Ms M, aka "DeeDee" came out of retirement @ 9+ to enjoy a terrier's dream - Barn Hunt. She had her instinct but it had been so many years we started there. She passed Instinct and then went on to garner 2 legs towards her Novice title, 1 in which she received High in Class and earned a cute plaque. Thanks to Revolution Dog Sports in Reno for sponsoring the event!
