RemiOn 6/30/23, we lost Remi at almost 11 years old. He was struck down in the end by prostate cancer, which progressed rapidly. We are so thankful that he had such a long, healthy life and was active and healthy up to the very end.

Remi leaves behind a legacy that few dogs can match, a record maker for this breed, and his impact will be long lasting. Remi sired over 20 litters in his lifetime and fortunately we have him collected to see more from him in the future. He leaves behind many offspring to carry on his amazing legacy. Remi's impact on our breeding program and our lives cannot be measured. Rest in peace sweet boy and jump as high as you want.

Remi was from Kyra and Ref's all tri litter. Remi had amazing structure with tons of bone and wonderful angles. He enjoyed the show ring and strived to please. Remi's top quality was his movement. As he would float around the ring, it was something to behold.

Remi made his mark in the history of the MAS breed and he was honored to hold several records in the breed. He became the first Miniature American Shepherd to win Best of Breed at the prestigious Westminster Kennel Club in February 2016. He was also the first AKC Champion in the history of the breed and quickly moved on to become a Grand Champion within one month of full recognition. He was also the 2nd Gold Grand Champion in the MAS breed. Remi was the first MAS to win the Eukanbua Best in Miscellaneous in 2013, at just 15 months old.

Remi retired from the show ring in 2017. He was shown selectively in 2018 obtaining multiple group placements. After retirement, Remi obtained his Barn Hunt Novice Title, Trick Dog Novice and was working on his Rally and Dock Diving. Remi produced multiple Champion offspring.

Remi was the Number 1 ranked MAS (All Breed) for 2016. He obtained over 4,500 all breed points during 2016. He was ranked Number 3 MAS in Breed Points for 2016 and was the top Group Winning and Group Placing MAS.

He was Number 2 for Dog Breed Points and Number 4 for All Breed Points for 2015, earning over 100 AKC points in just 5 months of showing. Remi was the Number 3 dog in his breed for 2014, with 48 AKC points earned during the year.

Remi had multiple Group Placements, including several Group One awards. 2016 was a wonderful year for Remi. He had his first Best in Show and a Reserve Best in Show. Remi also made the cut in a stellar group of dogs in the herding group at Madison Square Garden for the Westminster Kennel Club show in the breed's first showing at WKC.

Remi started his show career in March of 2013, winning MISC BIS in his first four shows. After taking the summer off, Remi returned to the show ring in October and quickly earned his first Certificate of Merit in November of 2013. Since that time, Remi went on to add 30 more AKC points, earning his MASCUSA Grand Championship before turning 18 months old. He was a Multiple MISC BIS winner. Remi had a stunning side gait and was praised by the judges for his movement. In Remi's first year of showing, he earned a spot in the MASCUSA Top Ten at #8 with 35 AKC points.

At 10 years old, Remi sired litter number 24! He had been in demand as a stud and his puppies continue to bring his quality forward into other breeding programs.

In 2022, Remi was recognized with the MASCUSA Record of Merit Excellent (ROMX) I Sire award. This award is to recognize sires that have produced titled offspring in all three categories: Conformation, Obedience/Rally, and Performance. We are very thankful for our owners who have worked so hard to achieve so much success with his offspring. In 2024, he was recognized with the MASCUSA Record of Merit (ROM) Conformation II Sire award for having over 17 conformation champions. This award recognizes sires that have produced titled offspring in Conformation.

Remi was professionally handled by Arvind DeBraganca and then retired with Kim in Savannah. At this time, Remi has stored semen, but it will only be used for Dynasty or partner-kennel breeding. It is not available for outside breeding.
