If you are interested in a
co-own, this is how it works. The puppy would
live with you. You would provide the loving
home, care and training. We would strive to make
the puppy a champion, determine the best mates,
help market the puppies or stud dog. We would
pass on information/education to you. You can be
as involved as you want or not.We will be
keeping our number of dogs here at our house
very limited. We are not a puppy mill!! Our
desire is to enjoy our dogs and give them the
attention they deserve and at the same time we
want to be involved in improving our Mini
Aussies as a breed. So, occasionally, we would
like to have a co-own family (preferably local)
for a show/breed quality pup.
At about 8 weeks old, we will be testing our
pups for personality/temperament and structure
(called puzzling). This helps us to determine
the puppy’s potential as a pet/companion or
performance/breeding prospect. It also helps us
find the best fit for your family. The most
important thing for our puppies is that they
have a loving, permanent home. First come is not
always first serve. It’s very important to us
that the pup is a good fit for you and your
family. Would you be willing to allow us to
assist you in choosing a pup, based on your
information?
Do you have any other questions
or concerns?
Please take the time to learn
about Australian Shepherd health issues and
visit the
ASGHI site. Dogs can have every health issue
that people have including epilepsy, eye
disorders and hip dysplasia even with a
breeders’ best intentions, careful planning and
testing of breeding dogs and litters. There is
no way to breed every pup to be free from all
genetic illnesses.
