Please describe temperament/personality type you prefer (less active/bold/soft/easy going,etc)

Please understand that aussies are NOT low energy, snuggly, calm dogs. They are high energy, bouncy, hard hitting dogs. A "calm" Aussie is still a VERY active, bouncy dog. If you are not prepared for a big, bouncy, active dog, do not get an Aussie.

What sex and colors would you prefer? We try to accommodate to color and sex preferences but sometimes can't.

Please note that we cannot guarantee sex or color preference. Most deposits are accepted far before puppies are even born. Preference will be given to people who are not focused on color/sex but instead, looking for a good companion for their home.

Describe any other dogs (breed/age/sex/intact/neutered/temperament,etc) in your home.

Where will the puppy spend its days and nights? Aussies are very intellegent with a very high need for physical, mental and emotional outlets. What training, activity and socialization plans do you have for a puppy? Are you prepared to crate a puppy when you are unable to supervise until a minimum of 2-3 years old?

Please describe any and all sports, hobbies or careers (relevant to dogs) you currently or have been a part of and how long you have been in it them.

Example: Agility 6 yrs, Professional Groomer for Cindy at YouWho Grooming for 10 years, Competitive Obedience 6 months.

I understand that Aussies are very hard hitting, active, energetic dogs that need a lot of mental AND physical exercise and my entire family is fully prepared to use any tools or training necessary to maintain my Aussies needs.

Most adolescent or adult Aussies can not be walked successfully on a harness or regular buckle collar and you may need to use slip collars, prong collars or ecollars to maintain control with your Aussie.

Yes I agree

No I am not comfortable with aversion tools and training

I understand that deposits are $500 and non refundable and most people wait 3-8 months for a puppy.

All deposits are non-refundable so be sure that you do want a puppy and don’t mind the wait before you place it. I have developed quite a rep over the years for breeding & raising my puppies the way they should be, (and I LOVE doing it!!!) so often there are quite a few people waiting. But that certainly doesn’t mean that you cannot get a puppy – just that you sometimes have to wait a little bit. I assure you that your puppy will be certainly worth your wait!!!

Yes I understand and I am willing to wait for the right puppy.

No, I do not agree or understand.

I understand that all puppies will be docked and we never leave tails intact.

All puppies are docked at 2 days old to adhere to the breed standard. There are many breeds that have tails, Aussies are a bobtail breed and reputable breeders should be docking.

Yes I understand

I understand these are Australian Shepherds and not Mini American Shepherds, commonly referred to as mini aussies.

Height: 20-23 inches (male), 18-21 inches (female) Weight: 50-65 pounds (male), 40-55 pounds (female) Life Expectancy: 12-15 years

Yes I understand

I understand Aussies are a heavily coated breed and will need to be groomed on a regular basis. I also understand that Aussies shed A LOT.

In general, weekly brushing sessions will keep the Australian Shepherd’s waterproof, double-layer coat looking its best. During shedding season, though, more work will be required. During this period an undercoat rake can be used every two or three days to remove the abundant dead hair, followed by a cleanup with the wire brush. They should be bathed and blow dried every 2-4 weeks to maintain a healthy coat. As with all breeds, the Aussie‘s nails should be trimmed regularly.

Yes I understand

Yes I understand and I would like to use you for grooming.

I understand Aussies need extensive work and training.

Early socialization and obedience training are both musts for the Australian Shepherd. One of the most frequent reasons Aussies end up in rescue situations is owners couldn’t (or wouldn’t) constructively channel the breed’s boundless energy through training. Aussies bond strongly to their families and so can be territorial and overprotective of their owners’ property, and they can become destructive if left without companionship for long periods too often. Fortunately, that loyalty combined with the breed’s keen intelligence and high energy makes them very easy to train.

Yes I understand

If you are located in the San Diego area, are you interested in puppy classes?

I offer 6 week puppy classes for $400 and we cover a wide range of behaviors including, sit, down, come, heel, stay, wait, leave it, kennel on command, place, calm on command, potty training and socializing. We meet in Poway on Saturday mornings.

Additional Info

I understand that I understand that the total cost for a pet puppy is $3500 and the remaining balance is due when the puppy is picked up at 8 weeks old.

Yes

Thank you for your interest in our puppies! We will get back to you soon.
