Absolutely not. I've dedicated years of my time, effort, and financial resources to acquire, care for, train, and ensure the health of my Australian Shepherds and Miniature American Shepherds / Miniature Australian shepherds. I will not consider devaluing that commitment through negotiations.

The answer to this question is multifaceted and depends on your specific values, goals, and breeding program. My primary concern is the well-being and enrichment of the dogs I produce and work with. If a dog goes on to become a breeder, I expect the breeder to be responsible for their production and committed to ongoing learning and improvement. I do have specific health test requirements for any dog used in breeding, and I do not support individuals looking to breed for a single litter or engage in indiscriminate breeding practices. Please apply via the breed prospect application.

It's a possibility! Nature brings its own share of unpredictability. While I can provide some estimates regarding the availability of Australian Shepherd puppies or Mini American Shepherd puppies or Mini Australian Shepherd puppies, please understand that we're subject to nature's timetable. If you're looking to reserve a spot for a future litter or puppy, our waitlist is likely your best choice.

Our waitlist provides you with the exclusive opportunity to select a puppy from our litters before they become available to the general public. To secure your spot, a nonrefundable deposit of $500 is required. Once our evaluations are complete at around 6-8 weeks of age, we'll contact you with Australian Shepherd puppies or Mini American Shepherd puppies that match your preferences. You have the option to pick one of the available puppies or choose to wait for the next litter, which you can do two times.

I strive to accommodate your preferences when it comes to finding the perfect dog for your family. However, it's important to note that I can't guarantee the specific color of the dog or its eye color, as these factors are determined by nature and chance. Your chosen Australian Shepherd or Miniature American Shepherd will be a cherished family member for the next 12-15 years, so it's crucial that the dog fits your family and lifestyle. In some cases, after evaluating your needs and energy levels, we may recommend a puppy of a different color or gender that could be a better match. We will discuss these recommendations with you, but ultimately, the choice is yours. Our priority is to ensure that the puppy is placed in a situation that works well for both you and the individual dog, rather than solely based on color preferences.

My policy is that unless we've made prior arrangements and a boarding fee of $50 per day has been paid upfront, all puppies should be collected within 7 days of their release date, or the deposit and puppy are considered forfeited.

I may consider holding a puppy with a boarding fee, but this is solely at my discretion and depends on my availability. It's not a guaranteed option. I kindly request that you refrain from reserving a puppy if you're not fully committed to following through with the arrangement.

We offer the convenience of digital payments through GoodDog and Zelle, where you can use your credit card, debit card, or opt for a bank transfer. Additionally, we accept cash for in-person payments upon puppy pickup.
