PreciousGem Miniature American Shepherds
PreciousGem Miniature American Shepherds / Miniature Australian Shepherds are raised inside our home with ENS, ESI, and Puppy Culture activities to promote thinkers and confident puppies. They are also exposed to people, children, dogs, strange noises, smells, textures, and more! At 8 weeks of age they have temperament and structural evaluations.

Availability & Litter Plans!

Interested in helping the breed improve without all of the expenses and time involved in showing and breeding? Consider joining with me to give the best of my pups a permanent home with you where they can still make a difference in the breed while staying in my program! ☺️

🐾  Bliss & Smokey puppies arrived 5/13/25!! 🐾

I am so excited to welcome these puppies into the world!! Bliss is a very diligent mama. Individual pictures will come soon. 

AVAILABILITY:
I am now opening up deposits for the following:

🔹 1 PARTNER HOME for a BLUE MERLE MALE **(must be within reasonable driving distance of SLC, UT - this will be my 1st pick male after evaluations!)
🔹 2 COMPANION/SPORT homes for a MALE **(must be open to either a blue merle or black tri, will be matched after evaluations)

If you are seriously interested in a PreciousGem puppy, please fill out my QUESTIONNAIRE.

Once I receive your questionnaire, I will reach out to chat with you to see if my pups may be a good fit for what you are looking for. If I approve you to place a deposit, I will ask for $500 non-refundable deposit (that goes toward puppy price) to hold your spot for a PreciousGem Miniature American Shepherd / Miniature Australian Shepherd.

Puppy prices are $2500 regardless of gender and color. I do my best to match to homes based on temperament, and lifestyle rather than gender and color.

Partner Homes:  🏆

​Partner Homes are a very valuable aspect of my program. Without loving and trusted Partner Homes, I wouldn't be able to help improve the breed to the same extent. There are many benefits to YOU, to ME, and the PUPPY! I ask that my Partner Homes reside somewhere near Salt Lake valley in Utah or close. If you are interested in sports, even better! Would you be interested in a Partner Home opportunity? Read more about it with button below ⬇️. Please reach out to me to ask questions! 
​**Money back to you for each litter if the dog is bred. See more of the benefits here: **

Companion & Sport Homes:  🎾

The most important thing to me is that my pups are well loved and cared for and your pup loves you in return! At the end of the day, I hope all my pups are loved companions! This does require time and  training on your part. Some of my pups are suitable for sport opportunities and most LOVE it! Please let me know if trying a sport interests you. 😊  I would love to get to know more about potential PreciousGem puppy families! You can fill out my questionnaire with the button below:

Why Choose a PreciousGem Pup? 💎

As the breeder behind PreciousGem, I work diligently to improve my dogs EVERY generation! This includes extensive genetic and breed related health testing (I am a vet tech so this is very important to me). Beyond health testing, I aim to improve quality, temperament, structure, trainability, athleticism, and loyalty. All of my puppies are raised with Puppy Culture activities including ENS (early nuerological stimulation) and ESI (early scent introduction). They are potty box trained, introduced to crates, car rides, and introduced to novelty (new/unusual) objects and new people as much as healthy while young. They are whelped, raised, and loved in my home - not in an outdoor kennel or barn. Around 8 weeks have structural evaluations and temperament evaluations so I can make better decisions for my program and my puppy families!
​My dogs and my pups are my passion and my entire world! 💙
