Our Philosophy
Raising litters is a time consuming decision. Countless hours go into researching pedigrees, health history, whelping and properly raising puppies. We choose breedings that will preserve all the wonder qualities of the Australian Shepherd. For these reasons our puppies are priced accordingly. Show/breeding puppies are occasionally available on co-ownerships and by private agreement only. We generally have a waiting list before puppies are born, however, we do not take deposits until we have a puppy application and have confirmed pregnancy by ultrasound. Deposits are $500.00 and non refundable. They can be transferred to another litter in the future should timing not be right. We do not make our final decision until puppies are around 8 weeks old. We allow time to watch developing temperaments, structure, personality and drive.
First Step:
Fill out a puppy application.
Puppy Buying Etiquette
Our puppies are not available on a first come first serve basis. We want our puppies to go to the right home and we want families to be properly prepared for their new puppy. They are devoted, biddable and want to please. They need a “job” and if one isn’t given to them, they will find one! We highly recommend training classes with your puppy and into adulthood. Please read this great blog on how to research breeders and your right puppy.
