Welcome to
Old-Time Australian Shepherds


Home of Hard to find "Old-Time" Aussie Traits

An Aussie owner/lover since 1975, we are committed to raising quality Australian Shepherds as family and working companions. Our pups are eligible for ASCA and AKC registration, have a one year health guarantee and come in a variety of colors.

We breed the "Old-Time" lines and excellence, where temperament, brains, physical condition, and natural instincts were foremost. Unfortunately, over the years, many of these traits have been bred out of Aussie's.

Pups come from Champion and/or Hall of Fame pedigrees and are intelligent, hearty, gorgeous, and loyal beyond belief. Farm raised and well socialized they will be the BEST dog you have ever had!

Our females display high levels of maternal instincts, and have approximately one litter per year. Our pups are raised in an environment that allows them to explore the world around them. Our pups lineage are OFA hip-tested, CERF eye-tested, and are checked for good bite.

Litters are up to date on vaccinations, de-worming, and vet checked before they go to their new families. Shipping and delivery are possible.

Pups are sold on a spay/neuter contract unless other arrangements are made prior to sale.

Our Aussie's come from two of the best foundation kennels around...
Twin Oaks and Las Rocosa.

A non-refundable deposit of $200 will hold a pup based upon the suitability of each individual home. 
 
Although we will always keep in mind the color preference of our puppy buyers, we do not place our pups in homes based solely on color choice.  Our evaluations are on-going to identify puppies on a wide variety of qualities including
temperament, natural instincts and suitability.

We proudly sell Aussie puppies that can be lifetime
working and family companions.

A  Letter from Dave, an Old-Time puppy owner...

Hey Dianne;

I am writing you to thank you for selling me such a wonderful dog. I knew she was a great dog, but we had a baby last Aug and she is such a good caretaker to the baby. Just in case you don't remember, my boyfriend (now my husband) met you in Sleepy Eye in early 2004.

Again, thank you.

Tara Pfankuch
