| We spend a considerable amount of time interacting, handling and working with our puppies from birth till the day they are placed. We generally only have one litter at a time and ALL puppies are born and raised here. With our litters we use early neurological stimulation Super dog program. Our dogs and puppies are raised in the house underfoot and are raised as part of our home and family. We put a lot of effort into each dog that lives here. They are exposed to exposed to agility equipment, Stock if we have them, been inside and outside, gone for swims in the baby pool. We do this because all our dogs are placed as companion first so they need lots of exposure to a home, family, outdoors, and general experiences to prepare them for this roll. We train and raise our dogs/puppies with a positive reward based philosophy with clear limits, rules and leadership from us. We do use and start our puppies on a marker based training program (clicker) Our dogs/puppies are fed and raised on a rotational diet including a basis of commercial quality kibble, with and without grain and yes some "raw" Our puppies and adult dogs are vaccinated for core viruses and we do practice proper infection and parasite control/preventative programs. Early exposure to challenges, sensory stimulation and handling helps jump start early neurological development. This makes your puppy a better companion. GOOD nutrition and care includes not only the puppies but the sire and dam. Diet, care and environment does effect overall health of a dog and can effect expression of disease. You can raise a litter to weaning age with less than ideal nutrition and absent care..but it has been proven dogs deprived of these things results in dogs with poor long term health, underdeveloped immune systems, reduced neurological development along with a possible expression of behavior concerns. |
| Owner Expectations Although We do lay a solid foundation on your Puppy and we are always available to help you. WE do expect our buyers to be committed to continue proper training and structure. Even adult dogs who may be housebroken and trained benefit from training and structure by the new home and owner. Training not only teaches the basics but BUILDS a better bond and trust between dog and owner. We put a lot of effort to ensure we lay a solid foundation BUT, What you do, or do not do, with your puppy/dog does effect the end result you live with. It is your responsibility to be a good pet owner. A dogs temperament is a product of its genetics and raising, as puppies leave our care sometime after 8 weeks, and live their lifetimes with you. The owner does have a significant responsibility and impact in how your dog acts, is socialized and trained. WE DO expect our owners to continue training, socialization, attend classes and enjoy activities with puppies and dogs from us. Aussies are a active breed they require active involved owners, they want to be with you and do things with you. THIS is not a breed you pick on looks alone! Please note! We only place our dogs into homes that have the time and willing to commit to owning A Aussie. If you work a long day, then you will need to arrange something so your puppy is not in a kennel 8-10 hrs, if you come home expect to spend some quality time with your dog when your home. We do Expect to take your puppy or dog places, expect to train your dog this includes attending attend training classes for both skills and manors and even something like agility. We expect you to build a quality relationship. Owning any dog takes work, and time, effort. If any breeder tells you different or really does not care.. Please please walk away! If you are unable to commit to this, your time is overbooked with commitments or activities and you may not up to the challenge, please reconsider adding a Aussie to your family. NOW is not the time to get a dog of ANY breed. |
