ABOUT US
My name is Amanda Akagi, and I have a Bachelor of Science in Biology. My journey into the world of Australian Shepherds began over eight years ago, and from that moment, I’ve immersed myself in understanding the intricacies of mini Aussies. It’s not just about breeding – it’s about gaining deep insights into genetics, behavioral traits, and health that define this remarkable breed.
With my husband by my side, we’ve been breeding Aussies for six years, and every decision we make is a heartfelt commitment to preserving and enhancing the breed’s qualities. Recently, we made the decision to dual register our eligible dogs as AKC Miniature American Shepherds (MAS) and ASDR Minis, marking a new chapter in our program. Our focus now is on MAS, as we work to bring more of these wonderful dogs into our program.
Our goal is to embrace the true miniature size while maintaining the exceptional qualities that make Aussies and MAS so beloved. While we plan to have only a few more standard-size litters, some may include both size varieties in a single litter. Each step we take is guided by our deep love for these dogs and our commitment to raising healthy, happy puppies.
But my dedication doesn’t end with breeding. I’m on a mission to support all Aussie and MAS owners, regardless of where they found their beloved companions. I strive to share knowledge, offer guidance, and foster a community where every owner feels empowered and supported.
At RedTree Ridge, it’s not just about producing exceptional dogs; it’s about being a resource, a guide, and a friend to all who share our passion for this remarkable breed. Welcome to our world, where every bark is a story, and every wigglebutt is a testament to the bond between humans and their Aussie/MAS companions.
