About us
We are a small family show/breed home. Our dogs live in our home and sleep in our bedroom. We live in the Phoenix, Arizona area. Our focus is on raising, training, showing, and breeding AKC Mini American Shepherds aka Mini Aussies with great temperaments and structure that will be successful in any environment. Our dogs are genetically tested to ensure the best pairings result in healthy, quality pups.
Our puppies are raised using the Puppy Culture method with the intention of producing "bomb-proof" pups and dogs. To learn more about Puppy Culture method of puppy rearing and why we feel our program is better for it, please click here and scroll to watch several videos on how Puppy culture works.
About our Kennel name and our naming theme: I have always named my dogs after books and book characters since I was a child. When we started our MAS kennel, we had just finished reading the Hunger Game series as a family, hence the kennel name Capital. If you know the book series (later turned into movies) you will recognize where the names of our dogs came from. For example, Fanning the Flames aka Ember is from the theme of the Girl On Fire, although he is male :). Throwing Shade aka Clove was one of the contestants in the games. Real or Not Real aka Lark is a phrase that the 2 main characters Mellark and Everdeen would say to each other to keep reality in focus. We have had dogs named Cashmere, Cinna, Prim, Rue, Gale, Seneca, Mazie. We enjoy coming up with new names and play on the theme.
