Reserving one of our current Australian Shepherd Puppies or Mini Australian Shepherd puppies for sale...
To reserve one of our currently available Miniature American Shepherd puppies or Australian Shepherd puppies, we require a non-refundable deposit of $1,000 for a currently available puppy. The remaining balance is due 5 days before pickup or in cash during the meetup.
Future Litter Pick/Wait List
The first pick in any litter is reserved for Painted Blue Aussies. If you'd like early access to future or upcoming Australian Shepherd litters or Miniature Australian Shepherd litters / Miniature American Shepherd litters, our waitlist is the option for you. Puppy picks occur after 6 weeks of age in order for us to more accurately assess temperament and compatibility. The waitlist fee is $500, non-refundable, and goes towards your chosen puppy's total purchase price.
The waitlist fee may be forfeited if you pass on two suitable puppies or after two years, whichever comes first. While we consider color preferences, we can't guarantee a puppy solely based on color.
