The beginning of March, 2023.

Do the puppies come with "papers"?

Yes. All of our puppies are purebred AKC Australian Shepherds and come with limited registration. Limited registration means these puppies are pets and cannot be used for breeding.

Will I have to sign a contract?

Yes. You can find a copy of the contract below the FAQ section.

How/where are the puppies raised?

Our puppies are raised in our home using modified Puppy Culture. They spend the first 3-4 weeks in our bedroom before they are moved to the laundry room/kitchen area for the remainder of their time with us.

How do I get a puppy from this litter?

The "Reservation Process" can be found below the "Contract" section on this page.

What if I place a deposit but I change my mind/don't like any of the pups/my situation changes/I get a pup elsewhere/ect?

Deposits are nonrefundable. Do not place a deposit if you are not committed to welcoming a puppy from this litter into your home. The only condition in which a deposit will be returned is if the pregnancy is lost or there are not enough puppies for the number of deposits taken.

Why are the tails docked/can I get a puppy with a full tail?

Australian shepherds are a working breed and are susceptable to tail injuries if not docked. The tails are docked at 3 days of age (along with the removal of the dew claws). All of our puppies will be docked since we have no way of knowing which pups may end up in a working situation.
