Puppies & Kids.❤️
Before “Pilcher Farms” came into existence we knew 2 things..
1. We wanted to start a family some day &..
2. Before we did we wanted DOGS!🐾
But not just aaany type of dog..we wanted to make sure it was the “right” breed for our future family. We considered Huskies, Bloodhounds, Great Pyrenees, & Bernese Mountain Dogs but after extensive research & discussion we decided that the standard Australian Shepherd breed was the one for us!✨We loved that they were highly intelligent, could adapt to living on the farm or in the city, had unique coat & eye colorizations, were active, had a natural herding instinct, were great with families, & the “wiggle butt” really sealed the deal!🥰 Almost 10 years later we are still SO thankful we made that decision.
Now our kids get to be a part of the Aussie world..from literally watching them be birthed, to completing ENS, to learning responsiblity by taking care of them, to being a part of photoshoots (hence the photo below!😍), to play & bath times, to vet appointments, & to puppy pickup day. We are so thankful that they get to be there for each & every step.❤️
Our hope & advice for ANYONE looking for a dog is to do exactly what we did. Do.your.research. Whether it’s buying a purebred or a combination of breeds find out the breed(s) demeanor, expectations, natural instincts, & musts it’ll need in its forever family. This not only sets the dog up for success but also will promote a healthy understanding & bond to make sure YOU are truly their forever family!❤️
