A Breeder's Hopes

There are a lot of posts out there about how to find a reputable breeder, but not enough is said about what breeders look and hope for in a future puppy owner. The most important point I have to make is this: That for those of us who have invested so much in our chosen breed and our lines, the sale of a puppy is NOT a one-time business transaction, but the beginning of a ten- to fifteen-year relationship between not just dog and owner, but also the breeder and buyer/owner.

I get a lot of short inquiries that go like this: "Is the red merle male available?" I don't know from this if they want a dog just to hang out on the couch with or one that will hike the Appalachian Trail by their side.

I can't answer which puppy is available before eight weeks because I don't place puppies solely by color and haven't evaluated them yet. I understand having a preference (I have my own), but color is superficial. If I placed puppies that way, I'd be getting a lot of them back later.

Caring breeders know that what matters most is whether the potential home is the right match for that puppy's potential and the owner's goals and lifestyle. The personality and energy level of the puppy matter a hundred times more than its looks. If I place a puppy with someone based solely on color and it ends up being a terrible mismatch as far as the owner's needs vs. the pup's personality, then eventually the novelty of a fuzzy, cute puppy wears off and you have an unhappy owner and an unappreciated dog butting heads.

A caring breeder wants to know you're committed to the dog for its lifetime and will keep in touch with questions, brags about graduation from obedience class, and pictures of your dog along on the family vacation. What you tell me about yourself upon introduction can make all the difference going forward because it lets me know if you are what I, as a breeder, am looking for in a home. It’s more like an interview or a first date rather than a simple business transaction. You are communicating to me what YOU have to offer this puppy.

That future relationship between breeder and buyer is a big part of what makes breeding worthwhile. It can also be what makes it a nightmare if a breeder isn’t selective enough. Breeders need to know you're prepared for and committed to proper training and socialization and that your new puppy will be an integral part of your family for its lifetime. After all, we're letting go of the babies that we've poured sometimes generations of planning into. It's not a decision we take lightly.

In contrast to those window shopping for a specific color, when I get an inquiry that goes into detail about the potential owner's home and family, why they want an Aussie or this particular litter, what plans they have for a future pup (companion, service animal, running buddy, sport dog, etc.), something about their current or past pets... then I get a much better *feel* for whether they might be a good fit, as well as how good they might be at communicating with me in the future. Those things are what matter to a caring, reputable breeder.

I treasure all the wonderful owners who've come along in our three-plus decades in Australian Shepherds. Some have become very good friends. But some have also taught me what I don’t want or what isn’t right for this breed or my dogs. Above all, I want to feel that any potential owner will love and adore that dog not for how many "pretty dog" comments they might get in public, but that they will value the loyalty of that dog, the things they did with it, and the relationship they developed with it, just as we all do with any true friend.

Caring breeders don't just fill orders. They pair you up with a lifetime partner.

Binks is looking for a sporting or very active family 🖤

We added Binks to our family in May 2023 as a hopeful working girl and addition to our program.

Unfortunately she has no interest in working livestock but would love a life with activities such as dog sports or regular hiking, bike joring, and regular running opportunities. Activities that just don’t fit our lifestyle and where we want our program to go. We want the very best for our dogs which is why we know we aren’t the perfect fit for Binks.

She loves kids, socialized around cats and other dogs. She can get over-aroused around free ranging livestock and can have controlling tendencies during play so a neutral dog(s) in the home is important.

She is 2yo (3/26/2022) is UTD on vaccines and preventatives - she is intact but will be spayed prior to rehoming. She has been testing out dock diving, disc, bike-joring, attending agility events and enjoying the cooler temps in Michigan this summer. Our priority is the perfect fit for this sweet girl and we don’t want the rehoming fee to be what stops someone from adding her to their family.

She is crate and potty trained, solid basic obedience, walks nicely on a leash, great recall, and a major snuggle bug. She is AKC registered, ASCA eligible.

Let the fun begin!

Early Neurological Stimulation and Early Scent Introduction are a big part of the neonatal stage of our puppy rearing. This helps to stimulate their senses to develop faster and further than if we simply handled our puppies.

We’ve seen some correlation between responses and evaluations completed later on so it is a fun part of the exercises.

Ready for happening May 3-5th!

Great day to work some goats with .g.brand.aussies 🐾

Not too bad of a session for Rogue - a touch of puppy brain but overall she covered nicely and showed off her confidence.

Does your dog come when called? A solid recall can make a world of difference when working with livestock and a dog. This girl makes me so proud to see the hard work we have put in, pay off in moments like this. Being able to send her out by herself to fetch sheep, who opted to go to the barn instead, and get her to come to me in a moment of excitement and frustration was incredible. Makes me glad I caught it on camera to share! In my new ebook, Herding on the Homestead: Start Where You Are, I discuss teaching manners and behaviors which are not necessarily herding related but they are behaviors which come in handy when herding. Teaching a solid recall is one of the best things you can do for your dog.

About Us

We are a married couple located in Dunn, North Carolina with our four Australian Shepherds. We have both always had a love and passion for dogs and a dream to raise our own some day. Josh and Wyatt were already a team when Jordyn joined the picture. Shortly after, we added Piper to our little family with the plan in mind to breed when she was older.

Wyatt has had his hips, elbows, and eyes certified for breeding as he is both AKC and CKC registered. Wyatt is also clear on his genetic health panel though a carrier for Intestinal Cobalamin Malabsorption. The puppies have a 50% of being a carrier but will not have this deficiency. Unfortunately none of our puppies will be eligible for AKC registration as Piper is CKC only and wasn't eligible. All puppies are vet checked and certified before leaving our home.

It is important to us that all puppies we help produce are well-socialized and given proper de-worming and shots before they leave for their new homes at the minimum age of eight weeks old. Proper potty-training and general "respect" training are kick-started while the pups grow in their first two months of life with us though this does NOT mean they are "bullet proof" in that training. These puppies will have medium-high energy and require a lot of time and energy as they grow into mature adults.

We love our dogs like family and will only allow buyers who will cherish these pups the same way we do. They will be well socialized, up to date on vaccines and well-fed before they are ready to leave our hands and go to their new homes.
