Wild Oak Australian Shepherds

04/08/2024

Hello Wild Oak Families
We are needing help rehoming this handsome fella from Re*****on & Stassi's litter. Odie is 5 years old. He is a sweetheart! I will attach a little of what his owners wrote me about him.

This is our sweet Odie 💙 he loves everyone, especially kids. He loves being around other dogs and running around. He would definitely thrive best in a large, open yard with kiddos to play with. He loves snuggling. He has been around all types of other dogs his whole life. He’s never been around a cat, but with his temperament, I wouldn’t see it being an issue at all.
Life has just taken some very unexpected changes and I want Odie to live his best life 💙

If you or someone you know can provide Odie with a wonderful life, please message me and I can connect you with his owners. They are located in Wisconsin. I can provide transportation to Utah if need be. Please help us find a good situation for Odie. THANK YOU!

We are a little over a week away from puppy pick up!!!!! I can't believe it is already here (quick for me. Long for our puppy families I'm sure!) I am getting puppy packs ready. I just recieved registration papers (cutting it close arint we ASDR 🙄👀)I will be filling those out, so now is the time to finalize your decision on full rights or pet rights only and communicate your decision with me.

Please reach out for your remaining balances and I can confirm/provide those for you. Balances need to be paid before puppy pick up (from our transporter).

If you have not reached out to our transporter, I encourage you to reach out to introduce yourself and who your puppy is. Appleton Wisconsin is pick up location. I believe the 22nd? But confirm with transporter.

I'm so excited for everyone to meet their new wiggle bums and spend the holidays bonding ♡ I feel really proud and happy about this litter and how much they have learned already.

●Vaccine Schedule●
I plan to get 1st Vaccines done December 19th at 8 weeks old. You will want to get your baby on your vets schedule for 2nd vaccine Booster between 10-12 weeks old, so early January.

They will have their vaccine info (along with wormer schedule, nail trims, weigh ins, ect) on the papers I provide you with. Give this to your vet.

Personally I do not believe in giving Rabies before 14-16 weeks. Some vets do it at 12 weeks. It's just a personal preference.

6 weeks!!!! How did the time fly by so fast?!? These little fluffs are all weighing in between 7.4lbs and 8.9lbs! Growing quickly and all the personalities are coming out ♡ we did their 6 week wormer tonight, everyone but Auggie loved it LOL I wish I got photos but I'm sorry, we were in such a mad rush to clean the puppy pen and get everyone weighed and wormed. I will try to take photos tomorrow and send to everyone.

2 more weeks!!! I'm really excited for everyone to be able to meet their little wiggle bums and spend Christmas 🎄 in bliss!

Enjoy this photo of Auggie and Eros asleep in their food dish 😋 😴🤣😆

Update photos of Lasko. He has become such a handsome boy!

I swear by Nature's Domain.
We have the puppies on the puppy formula and we have tried probably all the flavors of the adult formula for our adult dogs. We have used this brand for several years. We noticed a huge difference in their coats. Less shedding as well. We buy it at Costco. However if you decide on a different brand of food we will provide food to go home that you should mix slowly over the course of a week with the new food. This will help with avoiding tummy upset which is almost inevitable when you change dog food.

UPDATE
Eros found his family (I'm so happy for him!!!)

This boy has it all! Such a wonderful personality!! He is curious, yet cautious. He absolutely loves people. He would thrive in a family that has kids or has a very social life to fill that need for him. He just loves to be around people and see new things. Adventure would definitly be his word. He will be small, his build is much smaller than the other pups so he is our official Runt of the litter ♡

This girl is a doll. She loves to cuddle and just be with you. She has become VERY successful with litterbox training. She is incredibly sweet. She likes to be with the big dogs. Raven would be great in any home home situation. Kids, no kids, family or single. She seems very adaptable.

To crate train or not to crate train?!?!

Crate training a puppy takes advantage of the dog’s natural instincts to seek out a comfortable, quiet and safe place when the environment around them becomes too loud or overwhelming. It’s an important tool in preventing dogs from chewing on items in the home or during housetraining. Crates are also a safe way to transport your dog in the car.

Do not leave your puppy in a crate all day. This creates anxious behavior. Puppies under 6 months of age shouldn't stay in a crate for more than three or four hours at a time. They can't control their bladders or bowels for that long.

Crate your dog until they are able to be alone in the house without accidents or destructive habits. You can graduate your dog from a crate to an enclosed area of your home, like your kitchen, before giving them access to the full house when you’re away.

Crate training can take days or weeks, depending on your dog's age, temperament and past experiences. It's important to keep two things in mind while crate training: The crate should always be associated with something pleasant and training should take place in a series of small steps. Don't go too fast.
(We introduce crates next week!!! To help familiarize them with the concept and not have another new thing to get used to when they leave).

●Call them over to the crate and give them a treat.
●Give them a voice cue to enter, such as "crate." Encourage them by pointing to the inside of the crate with a treat in your hand.
●After your dog enters the crate, praise them, give them the treat and close the door.
●Sit quietly near the crate for five to 10 minutes and then go into another room for a few minutes. Return, sit quietly again for a short time and then let them out.
●Repeat this process several times a day, gradually increasing the length of time you leave them in the crate and the length of time you're out of sight.
●Once your dog will stay quietly in the crate for about 30 minutes with you mostly out of sight, you can begin leaving them crated when you're gone for short time periods and/or letting them sleep there at night. This may take several days or weeks.

We personally use these crates. Puppy can see what's going on outside of it. However some dogs like a blanket set on top so it's more den like. You will have to play around to see what your puppy responds best too.

🐾 POEM OF A DOG
I'm the one who's always waiting for you.
Your car has a special sound that I have imprinted on my senses, I can recognize it in a thousand.
Your steps have a magic bell.
Your voice is music to my ears.
If I see your joy, it makes me happy!.
Your scent is the best.
Your presence moves my senses.
Your waking up wakes me up
I contemplate you sleeping and for me you are my God, I am happy watching your sleep.
Your look is a ray of light.
Your hands upon me, hold the lightness of peace and the sublime display of infinite love.
When you leave, I feel a huge void in my heart.
I keep waiting for you again and again.
I am the one who will wait for you all your life today, tomorrow and forever:
I am your dog.

Grooming!! Owning an aussie means lots of fur, But you can help manage it so it doesn't take control of your house. I've listed a few items we use personally on our Aussies that I have noticed helped tremendously with our fur collection.

For cologne we have always used Earthbath. However I did try a new brand this past year that I'm obsessed with as well. They have so many yummy smells that Last ALL.DAY.LONG that brand is salon scents. (Ever follow girl with the dogs, on social media? do it! She is amazing and hilarious).

Shampoo wise we have always done barn dog, it's a little pricey. A Wild Oak Family recommended " thick double coat perfect fur" I like it, however it did dry my older girls coat out for some reason. Her coat got dull when we started using it on her. But the other aussies coats looked perfectly fine.

The brushes I posted are HIGHLY recommended. I brush my dogs 1x a week. Or at least I try to. The undercoat rake does wonders on all that loose fur, it really gets all that undercoat removed. It's amazing!!! Highly highly recommended.

These puppies will be very familiar with their feet being touched and nail trims every 2 weeks. The goal is to make them comfortable with their paws touched so that nail trims are not a trauma for you or them if you decide to trim them yourself.

To no fault of his own

Eros is available and looking for his people ♡♡♡

Please reach out if you or anyone you know may be interested in providing him a home.

This boy is all personality! He loves to play and explore. I feel like he would benefit from an active family but honestly he would be happy with just someone to play with. He is a very happy go lucky puppy

Let's talk TOYS!!!! especially with cyber Monday about to happen. I firmly believe you can never have too many options of toys for your growing puppy! Get as many as you can stand with as many different textures as you can.

They will be teething when they come home and having different textures really does help you navigate through this stage. I promise it is a stage and you can do this ;)

I introduce a lot of different toys while they are with me, most of the time we get a good feel for what works for who and we send like toys home with them to start. But like kids, puppies get bored and need variety.

I am a HUGE supporter of Nylabone. They have gotten all my dogs through puppyhood and they have so many options now!!

While going through this teething stage it's important to remember... redirection is KEY to a successfully trained puppy. See your wiggle butt chewing on a shoe? Grab a similar textured toy and swap it out. Show the shoe and say NO firmly, give the toys and say GOOD BOY/GIRL and all the feel good words :) return to the shoe and say NO.

sometimes you feel silly, but I promise the more consistent you are and the more options you give the quicker this stage will feel.

I DO NOT recommend rope toys by the time these fluffy wiggle butts go home. (I do use them now, but they do not have the bite to pull them apart at this age). I cannot tell you how many exploratory surgeries I saw in the 10 years I worked and an animal hospital with a large percentage being rope string the dog Shredded off and swallowed which then tied inside their stomache.. it's HORRIBLE!!

Now obviously at some point, you will know what your dog is capable of and not. If your dog doesn't lay down and just nibble at their toy, this may be a dog that can handle rope toys. My 2 females are nibblers and chewers, they benefit from nylabones 100% where Wasatch he likes to suck on his toys (yes, suck LOL) so he likes the plush toys and he really does take good care of them. Very rarely does he tear a hole in them. We tested him on rope toys but he Shredded them so those are a no in our toy box for him and the girls.

He has been eyeing the puppies toys 😆
