About us...

Since we have a lot of new followers, I wanted to make a post with some frequently asked questions and to give a little background on us. We are small hobby breeders located in southern Missouri. We have 2 females currently but will soon be adding another! We got our first Aussie 3 years ago and fell in love. The breed is so smart and loving. After a lot of research and thought, we decided we wanted to bring the same happiness to other families. We are a family of five with 3 small children ages 8,5 and 8 months so the puppies are loved and played with constantly. Our aim is to give healthy, well socialized, and beautiful dogs to loving and deserving homes.

Some things to note: 1. Our puppies see a vet within the first 5 days of being born. At this appointment, their tails are docked and dew claws removed. They are dewormed every 2 weeks and receive first round of shots at 7 weeks. They will see the vet again around 7 weeks old to be completely checked over. Out of state buyer (and in state if requested) will receive a health certificate at this appointment allowing the puppy to travel out of state. This states that the puppy is completely clear or any disease, sickness, or worms. This certificate is good for 10 days (hence the strict pick up times we will discuss below). The certificate also protects me, so if your puppy gets worms or gets sick after being home for 2 weeks we will know it was your environment (learn ways to avoid this in my agreement).

2. There is a $100 non refundable deposit to hold or claim puppy. You can pay through Paypal or Facebook. Cosmetic flaws do not count to get deposit back such as under/overbite, umbilical hernia, undescended testicles, or other minor flaws that are not health problems. That is why they are sold as "pet quality". **The remaining balance is due IN CASH at time of pick up.

3. Speak with you spouse/boyfriend/significant other before contacting me. This is not a reason to get out of a deposit. I spend hours each day responding to messages and taking and sending pictures to potential buyers. So please save me some time and speak with them beforehand.

4. If you want one of our puppies PLEASE PUT DOWN DEPOSIT. I am told at least 3x a day that someone is going to put down a deposit then I never hear from them again, so puppy will go to first person who actually pays deposit and commits.

5. Pick up needs to be done within 5 days of the puppy turning 8 weeks. This is due to health certificate timeline, but also because it is important that your puppy bond with you as soon as possible as Aussies are a loyal breed.

6. Pick up arrangements are for YOU to arrange. I try to be as flexible as possible and help with meeting (I'm driving to Oklahoma in 2 days). But ultimately, it is not always possible due to us working full time jobs and having 3 children. I do have connections and can help you set up ground transport or air transport.

7. I have all buyers sign an agreement to vaccinate, to never send to shelter, and to spay/neuter if they did not receive breeding rights. I will send you this before pickup.

8. Crate training is ROUGH. Please give your new puppy at least 2 weeks to adjust. Until then expect whining and crying at night.

9. Most importantly, DO NOT HESITATE to ask me questions! This goes for after going home with your puppy. I am willing to help you troubleshoot house training and other things you may come across.
