Hello! Welcome to Snake River Minis!

The Rohde family has always loved animals. My kids have never known a day without a dog in their lives, and that stands true to this day as my grandkids all have furry siblings at home.

The Mini Shepherds came into our lives in 2004 with Gizmo. We all instantly fell in love with him and the breed. Coming off of a retired career of breeding Paint Horses it was natural to immerse myself into the world of raising and showing these dogs.

Always striving to improve the breed, our pack has grown beyond my wildest dreams. Our puppies have travelled to the far reaches of North America. Whether a world champion competitor or a companion, every single puppy starts in my loving home in North Idaho nurtured by friends and family.

I take this job seriously, pouring every ounce of my passion into their lives. I never stop learning about the breed, the best nutrition practices, the best health regiment and promotion of these special dogs. They really are special and I know that you will find that to be true as well.
