I’m Michelle B., the breeder behind Malachi Kennels located in Estacada, OR. At Malachi Kennels, we believe that a truly exceptional dog is a combination of sound genetics, expert care, and purposeful handling. As a professional dog groomer, my life is dedicated to the health and aesthetics of the canine form. This expertise is the foundation of our MAS breeding program. We focus on producing Miniature American Shepherds that excel in temperament, structure, and coat health. Because our puppies are raised by a professional groomer, they receive early ‘table training’ and sensory handling from day one—ensuring they grow into confident, easy-to-manage companions. At Malachi Kennels, we don’t just raise puppies; we cultivate the next generation of versatile, beautiful, and loyal MAS.

Q & A with Michelle

What Makes Your Program Special?

Expert Care from Grooming Table to Show Ring With a career rooted in professional dog grooming and a deep love for the Miniature American Shepherd (MAS), I offer a unique perspective on canine care. My approach to breeding is small-scale and intentional, focusing on the versatile, intelligent, and loyal nature of the MAS. Are you aware that the MAS has a double coat that requires regular brushing and professional grooming? Do you have a local professional groomer, or do you plan to groom the dog yourself? Our puppies are started on “table training” and handling. Are you committed to continuing this positive grooming socialization at home?

What are the Different Breed Coat Colors in Your Program?

Our puppies include black tri, black, red merle, and blue merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

Where Do Your Breeding Dogs Live?

They live in my home.
