We have two litters planned for 2010, both have the promise of being extremely versatile, pups that can do it all!

We're very excited about both litters and are taking reservations now.  Please click on the links below for photos

Our puppies are kept with their siblings until 10 weeks of age. We find they become better, well adjusted adults when kept with their litter mates for longer than 6 to 8 weeks.  They learn valuable lessons from each other, in this 10 week period, that will enhance their temperament, and overall well-being as an adult.

 "Super Dog Training"

The first step to a "super" puppy begins prior to birth with the selection of parents that have good health, willing to please temperaments, and keen minds. Our puppies are raised within our home and go to work with us everyday as we have our own business allowing them to experience new people, someplace other than home, and different situations. Soon after birth, we start early neurological stimulation exercises on them.

Puppies go through different stages/periods within their first couple of months as stated in the book by Pat Hastings called "The Puppy Puzzle". We use some of her ideas of utilizing these stages to provide the puppies with environmental stimulation at appropriate times. Employing all these methods can maximize the potential intelligence, natural instincts, learning ability, and capacity for stress of the puppy. We have found this stimulation creates a bold, eager to learn, puppy. One that is unafraid of new people, places, sounds, and stressful situations. This early training, combined with the new families continued socialization will soon create an "ideal" dog with the behaviour and temperament that will suit family life.

Their success rate increases with their new families. We try to have the puppies started walking on a leash and crate trained (which promotes easier housetraining). Puppies have their eyes cleared with an ophthalmologist at 8 weeks.  We sell on a contract with normal guarantees with first right of refusal and we re-home our pups that are sold and need new homes for any reason.

Australian Shepherds have over 32 possible hereditary disorders. At 7 weeks our pups receive an extensive "wellness check". At this age they are screened for 13 disorders which include: two different types of hernias, Anterior Cross Bite, Brachygnathism, Prognathism, Deafness, Microphthalmia, Persistent Pupillary Membranes (PPM), Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA), Persistent Right Aortic Arch and Pulmonic Stenos
