Something Special is Brewing: Nya × Megabyte

We are so excited about this upcoming cross!
Nya, our ASCA Champion girl, will be paired with Megabyte, an ASCA and AKC Champion. We have been looking forward to seeing what these two bring together, and we think this pairing has the potential to be something pretty special.
Neither Nya nor Megabyte is on the large side for an Australian Shepherd, so while we expect their puppies to be bigger than our Mini Aussies, we anticipate a really nice, moderate size. Plenty of Aussie, without taking over the whole couch. Well… no promises on the couch.
We’re hoping for beautiful, versatile puppies with the brains, temperament and athleticism to enjoy whatever their families have in mind, whether that’s dog sports, adventures, or simply being an all-around wonderful family companion.
We can’t wait to meet these little Aussies!

Final Curtain Call: Shae × Cooper

This one is especially close to our hearts. We are planning Shae’s final litter, and we truly couldn’t be more excited about the boy we’ve chosen for her, Cooper, formerly Dragon!
Cooper comes from our own Ridgestar Wildflower litter and is a B. Jack son, making this pairing a wonderful blend of familiar Ridgestar dogs and some of the old herding lines behind Shae and her mother that we have valued for years.
There’s something pretty special about watching generations come together, and even more so when it’s the final chapter for a girl who has been such an important part of our program.
We’re looking forward to puppies with plenty of personality, brains and that unmistakable Mini Aussie spark. And because this will be Shae’s last litter, you can bet we’ll be soaking up every minute of it.
One last litter for Shae, and hopefully one very special group of Ridgestar babies.

Our breeding plans are coming together for mid to late summer, with hopeful fall go-home dates if everything unfolds as planned. We have several exciting possibilities we’re looking forward to and can’t wait to share more as plans become official.
As always, our focus remains on thoughtfully planned breedings that prioritize health, temperament, structure, and preserving the qualities we value most in our puppies.
We’re keeping a few surprises under wraps for now, but trust us, you’ll want to stay tuned.
Be sure to check back often as we’ll be announcing our upcoming breeding plans, expected litters, and exciting updates in the weeks ahead. We have some BIG plans for Ridgestar, and we can’t wait to take you along for the journey.

 

MASCA

MASCAThrough MASCA, the parent club and registry for the Australian Shepherd of the miniature variety, the mini Aussie remains a size variety of the Australian Shepherd, with a continuous gene pool. The dogs will NOT become a separate breed, UNLIKE the AKC Miniature American Shepherd. Dog owners and future owners concerned with maintaining Australian Shepherd heritage, instinct, temperament and type in a mini Aussie, are invited to contact MASCA for additional information about the club and its goals.

A MASCA mini Aussie:

  • Is not registered with the AKC as a breed other than an Australian Shepherd
  • Is not the same as the AKC/FSS Miniature American Shepherd
  • Is the true Aussie of the miniature variety
  • Will always be an Aussie

MASCA is NOT seeking recognition as a Miniature American Shepherd with AKC/FSS.

MASCA will protect the integrity of the MASCA registry and continue to register Australian Shepherds of the miniature variety. We are true to the heritage of our dogs.
