The
purchase of a new dog is a huge commitment, emotionally as well as your
time and resources, and should be a well thought out decision.
The dog you purchase
could be in your life for the next 15 years. Choose your breeder carefully.
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 health testing appropriate for an Australian Shepherd.
Tails
and due claws are removed on EVERY puppy within 3 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 taught to potty in a litter box. They will be accustomed to
regular household noises and beople coming and going.
Although
we focus our attention on conformation, our dogs are successful in
every area of competition and we will do our best to match you up with
a dog specific to your
area of interest. If your area of
interest is for a wonderful family pet, we've got you covered.
Our "showdogs" 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,
fly ball or any other discipline, we will try to direct you to a puppy
we
feel could excel in that area.
We breed for ourselves.
We will normally keep a puppy from every breeding we do.
The remaining puppies will be available for placement. All
litters will be evaluated at 8 weeks,
that is when we will decide
who we are keeping and which puppies will be available. All
companion puppies will be sold on a spay neuter contract.
We
require a $200 deposit on a pet/companion puppy and a $400 deposit on a
show prospect, 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. If we don't have a
puppy to offer you, we will roll your deposit over to our next
litter. If you've been
waiting an extented period of time and we haven't had a puppy to offer you, we will refund your deposit.
If you have any questions that we didn't address
or you'd like to discuss further, please feel free to contact us.
We'd love to talk with you.
