Puppy Information and Philosophy

We select our pedigrees to match up dams and sires with good health clearances in our efforts to produce healthy, happy puppies.  Any dog that is used in our breeding program will have genetic health testing appropriate for an Australian Shepherd. Some dogs will have additional tested related to color coat, eyes, hips, elbows, patella (OFA).

Tails and due claws are removed on EVERY puppy within 5 days of birth.  They will be wormed several times and receive 1 puppy shot before they leave us at 8 weeks old. Puppies are whelped in our homes and are litter trained starting at 4 weeks old.  They will be accustomed to regular household noises, people coming and going, and children.

Our main focus of breeding is to produce high quality, well rounded Australian Shepherds that fit the breed standard. Although some of our dogs are successful in different areas of competition, we will do our best to match you up with a dog specific to your area of interest.  If you are looking for a companion pet, we have you covered.  Our show quality dogs are also our pets and it's important to us to produce dogs that are enjoyable to live with.  If you are wanting to do agility, obedience, rally, dock diving, lure coursing, or any other activity, we will try to place you with a puppy we feel would fit best in your home. 

All litters will be evaluated between 6 and 7 weeks old, that is when we will decide which puppies will be available for which types of homes.  All companion puppies will be sold on a spay neuter contract. 

Please click the link below to be added to our waiting list. We will allow you to request a specific sex/color but the more open you are, the easier it will be for us to offer you a puppy. We require a $200 deposit on a pet/companion puppy and a $400 deposit on a show prospect. We accept deposits on puppies currently on the ground. Deposits are non-refundable.
