How much are the puppies?

Prices range from $600.00-$700.00. (For limited registration)

When puppies are shipped I add an additional $125.00 to cover the costs of the health certificate, safe/secure travel crate (that you keep), flight arrangements, and transporting to the airport. The flight itself is COD.

Do you socialize your puppies?

Our puppies are born and raised in our home/farm. We will do our best with their socialization by introducing collars, beginning stages of walking on a leash, initiate basic potty training, and they will be taught a few simple commands. Pups will be taken on a hand-full of short car rides around 8 weeks old. They will be come in contact with children (small and large), other dogs, horses, house/farm noises such as: kitchen sounds, TV, radio, vacuums, cars, skid loaders, trucks and horse trailers.

What is their temperament?

Please don’t hesitate to contact me with questions about character, temperament,
and traits of the parents or pups.

How much is the deposit?

A non-refundable deposit of $200 will hold a pup based upon the suitability of each individual home. (Deposits are applied to the purchase price of your puppy)

Can you board my puppy?

Yes. If a puppy needs to stay with us longer than 8 weeks we charge $5.00 per day. This includes food, worming (if needed), socialization and plenty of play-time. We are currently feeding NutriSource.

What colors do you have?

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.

Do you have Mini or Toy puppies?

Recently there has been a rise in the movement to breed “miniature”, and sadly, even a “toy” version of the Australian Shepherd. Neither of these are recognized by any of the official Australian Shepherd clubs/organizations. The Australian Shepherd Club of America (ASCA), the American Kennel Club (AKC), nor the United States Australian Shepherd Association, Inc. (USASA), recognize nor register these dogs. The dogs are only recognized by their own breed clubs, which have been formed since they were denied recognition by the above clubs. They are NOT a ‘variety’ of the true Australian Shepherd, they are a totally separate breed.
We do not breed “mini’s”, will not allow our males to be used to breed to a “mini” and will not recommend a breeder to you because we personally do not support the purposeful breeding of ‘miniature” or “toy” dogs that are then passed off as Australian Shepherds. We breed our Aussies to the ASCA and AKC recognized standard of excellence. These clubs require all of their members to abide by their rules and regulations and their Code of Ethics, and to be ever vigilant in the preservation and protection of the true Australian Shepherd.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes. In March of 2011 we shipped 2 puppies to France. I acquired all the necessary documentation and then escorted the puppies to France and stayed with Valerie and David for 6 days. Although the trip was long the puppies handled it well.
