Comprehensive Health Testing for Peace of Mind
As an experienced breeder of Australian Shepherds for the past 16 years, I can assure you that the health and wellbeing of our dogs is our top priority. We conduct extensive health testing to ensure the puppies we produce are of the highest quality and free from genetic issues.
Specifically, we screen our breeding dogs for hip and elbow dysplasia, as well as performing comprehensive eye examinations. These tests are conducted by licensed veterinary specialists to provide reliable, certified results. By thoroughly vetting the health of our breeding stock, we can confidently offer families like yours puppies that are less likely to develop debilitating joint or vision problems later in life.
Our closed breeding program also plays a crucial role in maintaining the health of our lines. We do not bring in outside dogs or breed with dogs from other kennels, ensuring we have complete control over the genetic makeup of our Aussies. This selective, informed approach allows us to build upon the strong foundation we've established over the past 16 years.
I understand how important it is for families like yours to find a reputable, trustworthy breeder you can rely on.

Understanding Our Health Guarantee for Your New Australian Shepherd Puppy
As you embark on the wonderful journey of welcoming a new Australian Shepherd puppy into your family, we want to ensure you understand the importance of our health guarantee. Our commitment to providing you with a happy and healthy puppy is at the forefront of what we do.
- Why Health Guarantees Matter
For families like yours, finding a well-bred puppy is essential. A health guarantee not only reflects the quality of our breeding practices but also offers you peace of mind. We understand that when you choose a puppy, you are not just selecting a pet; you are bringing a new family member into your home.
- What You Should Know
1. **Contractual Agreement**: Our health guarantee is tied to specific recommendations in our contract. Following these guidelines ensures that your puppy receives the best possible care and support.
2. **Post-Transition Care**: Once your puppy leaves our possession, our health guarantee no longer applies if our recommendations are not followed. This is to protect both the well-being of your puppy and the integrity of our breeding practices.
3. **Your Role**: As a caring and attentive family, you play a crucial role in your puppy’s health journey. This includes regular vet check-ups, protocols, and nutritional care that align with our recommendations.
- Building a Lifelong Bond
By adhering to our health guidelines, you are not only ensuring the health of your puppy but also laying the groundwork for a loving and stable home. This commitment directly contributes to your goal of providing your family with a loyal companion who will create lasting memories alongside you and your children. When following our health guarantee recommendations, you can ensure a bright and healthy future for your new puppy.
What kind of temperament do your puppies have?
Thank you for your follow-up question about the temperaments of the Australian Shepherd puppies from this reputable breeding program. As an experienced breeder with a strong focus on responsible breeding practices, I can provide some insights that I hope will be helpful for your family.
The Australian Shepherd is a highly intelligent and versatile breed known for their strong herding instincts and eager-to-please nature. However, within the litter, you'll often find a range of temperaments that can suit different family dynamics and lifestyles.
Some of the puppies may be more laid-back and content to simply cuddle up with their human family members, enjoying the companionship and affection. These pups can make wonderful, calmer companions for families looking for a loyal, loving furry friend to share their home and activities.
On the other hand, other puppies in the litter may be more active and energetic, with a strong drive to work and play. These pups often excel in canine sports and activities and can be a great fit for families with an active lifestyle who are excited to engage in training and provide ample exercise and mental stimulation.
Regardless of the individual temperament, all of the puppies from this breeding program will have been well-socialized from a young age, exposing them to a variety of sounds, textures, and experiences to help them develop into well-adjusted, confident companions. The breeder's commitment to comprehensive socialization and training during the critical early weeks and months helps to ensure that each puppy is primed for a successful transition into their forever home.
As you meet the litter, the breeder will be able to provide personalized guidance on which puppy may be the best fit for your family's specific needs and lifestyle. They will work closely with you to help you find the perfect furry addition that will thrive in your care and become a beloved, lifelong companion.
Why do your dogs cost more?
As an experienced and ethical Australian Shepherd breeder with 16 years of dedication to the breed, I understand the importance of providing your family with a healthy, well-adjusted puppy that will bring joy and companionship for years to come. When it comes to investing in a furry family member, quality and responsible breeding practices are key.
Unlike puppy mills or backyard breeders that prioritize profit over the well-being of their dogs, our breeding program focuses on the health, temperament, and socialization of each and every puppy. We go to great lengths to ensure our dogs are set up for success in their new homes.
First and foremost, the health of our Australian Shepherds is our top priority. Our breeding dogs undergo extensive genetic and physical health testing, including evaluations for hip and elbow dysplasia, as well as eye exams, to identify any potential issues before bringing a litter into the world. We also provide a 7-year health guarantee, giving you peace of mind that your new pup is less likely to develop costly health problems down the line.
In addition to rigorous health protocols, our puppies are raised with the utmost care and attention. They are introduced to a variety of sights, sounds, and textures from an early age, helping them develop into well-adjusted, confident companions.
We also take great pride in the nutrition and overall wellness of our dogs. Our puppies are fed a premium, holistic diet to support their growth and development, and we work closely with our veterinary team to provide top-notch preventive care and address any health concerns promptly.
Ultimately, the investment in a well-bred, responsibly raised Australian Shepherd from our program pays dividends in the long run. By starting with a healthy, well-socialized puppy, you can expect fewer vet bills, better behavior, and a lifelong bond with a furry family member that will enrich your family's life in countless ways.
Compared to the potential heartache and financial burden of acquiring a puppy from less reputable sources, our breeding program offers peace of mind and assurance that you are bringing home a truly special addition to your family. We are committed to guiding you through every step of the process, from selecting the perfect puppy to providing ongoing support and resources to ensure a positive experience for both you and your new furry companion.
If you choose not to follow our recommendation and our contract for what we offer to cover the health guarantee, we don’t guarantee the puppy once they leave our possession.
Can I visit your facility?
No, we are a closed-kennel breeder for the safety and well-being of our dogs and family.
Unlike open-door breeding operations, our closed-kennel approach ensures that our Australian Shepherds are raised in a secure, controlled environment, free from the potential risks and exposure that can come with open access. This allows us to maintain the highest standards of health, socialization, and care for every single puppy, giving you the peace of mind that your new companion is well-adjusted and ready to thrive in your family.
As part of our commitment to transparency and personalized service, we offer video visits so that you can get to know us, our breeding program, and the puppies. We offer this knowing that there are so many scams that are all over. This allows you to ask questions, see the puppies' development, and build a relationship with our team, ensuring that you feel confident and comfortable with the entire process. We also ask that you follow our Instagram or Facebook page for updates.
We know that trust is paramount when it comes to making such an important decision for your family. That's why we go above and beyond providing a level of care and support that goes far beyond what you might find with a more traditional breeder. Our focus is not just delivering a healthy, well-bred puppy, but on serving as a trusted partner throughout your dog's lifetime, offering guidance, resources, and a supportive community to help you and your new furry friend thrive.
By choosing our program, you can have the assurance that your new Australian Shepherd puppy has been raised in a safe, nurturing environment, with every measure taken to safeguard their physical and emotional well-being. This investment in quality and care will pay dividends in the form of a loyal, well-adjusted companion who will bring joy, laughter, and endless love to your family for years to come.
Can I return the puppy if something doesn’t work out?
We could help you in finding a new home if that’s needed. Life can be unpredictable. If you ever find yourself in a situation where you need to rehome your puppy, we are here to help. We can assist you in finding a loving new home for your furry friend, ensuring they continue to receive the care and love they deserve.
We do offer to take a dog back at times. In the rare event that you need to return your puppy to us; we will gladly accept them back. Please note that the return will be at your expense, as we want to ensure that every puppy remains in a safe and loving environment.
What kind of support do you offer after I take my puppy home?
Ongoing Guidance: When you choose to follow our recommendations, you gain access to lifetime support. We understand that raising a puppy can be both exciting and challenging, and we are committed to being a reliable resource for you. Whether you have questions about training, health, or socialization, our experienced team is just a message away. We also have some trainers we work with locally that I can give you their information. We also have trainers that are offered online that we have formed partnerships with.
If our recommendations aren’t followed, you will lose the lifetime support since you are responsible for the actions needed.
What do you feed your puppies?
We use pet food that has been formulated by a holistic veterinarian. We have been using these products for over 8 years with our own dogs, puppies born here and helping other pets all over the country. If you would like to check it out, go to www.healthyforpaws.com
How do I get on your waitlist?
You can get on our waitlist by filling out an application, (once approved) we have a team meet video call or phone call and finally by sending $1000 for a deposit. That deposit does go towards the price of a puppy. We all know that we can’t control heat cycles, puppies etc so we do allow the deposit to be transferred for up to 18 months on a different litter if needed. Deposits are non-refundable if you haven’t chosen a puppy by that time.
There’s way too many scams going on that we want to make sure that you are comfortable with us as well as us knowing you are the perfect home for one of our fur babies.
