Frequently asked questions
No, we do not breed Mini Australian Shepherds. Our dogs are registered purebred Australian Shepherds, which are medium-sized according to breed standards. While smaller sizes can occur, we focus on breeding standard-sized Aussies.
Australian Shepherds are deeply devoted to their families and thrive on human connection. They are incredibly loyal, affectionate, and eager to be part of every family moment, making them wonderful companions for children. Like many herding breeds, Aussie puppies may occasionally nip during play as part of their instinctual behavior. This is usually gentle and playful, but we recommend supervising interactions with young children until your puppy has learned appropriate play boundaries. Every puppy we raise is nurtured in our home, surrounded by our children and daily family life, helping them develop into well-socialized, confident dogs ready to join your family.
We determine the price of our puppies based on several factors, including age, sex, color, registration status, level of training, and ongoing health care. Our journey starts with selecting a healthy, well-matched breeding pair to ensure strong genetics and great temperament. During the mother's pregnancy and nursing period, we provide enhanced nutrition to support optimal development. From birth, our puppies receive consistent health care, early socialization, and preventative treatments, helping them grow into happy, healthy companions ready for their new homes.
We offer flexible payment options to make it easier for families to welcome one of these incredible companions into their lives. Our goal is to ensure that every puppy finds a loving home, without financial stress standing in the way.
