When raising an Australian Shepherd puppy, please remember to take HEART!

H - Have a sense of humor! Your puppy will be full of beans and mischief, try to see the lighter side.

E - Have empathy for your puppy. Remember, a puppy is just a baby and has needs. Try to think about what they need, instead of focusing on how their behavior effects you.

A - Appreciate those brains! You just brought home one of the smartest breeds you can! Harness that mind. Attend training classes!

R - Reassurance. An Aussie puppy needs to feel safe and secure in their home. Be consistent with positive reinforcement training. Ensure they know what to expect.

T - Trust. An Aussie does what you ask because of your relationship. Earn your puppies' trust and build your bond. You will be forever changed ❤️

How it works:

As the buyer of an Extreme / Rival Australian Shepherd puppy your personality and activity level is the best way to match you with your new puppy. Generally I match you to a specific litter by your questionnaire. To reserve a puppy a deposit is required. I make arrangements for visitors between the ages of 3-4 weeks old if possible. At this age puppies’ immunity levels are the highest. We ask that you do not visit any other breeders, shelters, veterinary clinics, etc before visiting. If you are not happy with the puppy, you can opt to decline the puppy and your deposit can be put toward a future litter. It is in this way that I can help ensure that pups are going to find the forever loving homes that they deserve. Companion or performance prospect puppies are priced at $2500 for 2025, Canadian/US funds, and are sold on strict spay/neuter contracts. Size is not guaranteed but I will give the best possible estimate. Show pups will be more – price will reflect the pedigree. Typically I ask for pet price + a puppy or two back from a future litter. Puppies sold on co-ownerships are sometimes available for a reduced price, individual to each contract. Litters are registered according to the registration of the parents. If one parent is ASDR/MASCA registered the litter will be MASCA registered. Standards are registered with the CKC (Canadian Kennel Club). All pups will come with an awesome puppy package, 3 year genetic health guarantee, health check, first vaccinations, de-worming, treated with Advantage, microchip. Puppies are home raised inside my house and not in the kennels. They are crate trained and learning to house train (yes I DO get up at 3AM and take them out to potty) before leaving for their new homes, and the blankie or toy they slept on goes with them to help ease the transition to the new home. If puppy is to be shipped, all shipping costs are the responsibility of the buyer. If you are interested in a co-own show / breeding puppy, please contact me for more details. Other show / breeding potential pups will only be sold to dedicated people that agree to show the dog and seriously participate in one other venue such as herding, flyball, agility, disc, sledding, etc.

I use the “BIOSENSOR program” otherwise known as the "Super Dog Program" with my litters. This program was developed by the U.S military and is aimed at developing high achievers due to a series of 5 exercises that provide early neurological stimulation (ENS). ENS has been shown to give puppies a better start in life.

These benefits include:

#1) Improved cardiovascular performance

#2) Stronger heart beats

#3) Stronger adrenal glands

#4) Improved tolerance to stress

#5) Improved resistances to disease

The exercises are:

#1) Tactile stimulation

#2) Head erect

#3) Head downwards

#4) Supine position

#5) Thermal stimulation

Puppies start the program at 3 days of age and the exercises are carried out every day until 16 days of age. The exercises do not replace normal handling and play; they are to be used in addition.

***NEW*** 2019 - Puppies now exposed to basic cocktail of scents during ENS to stimulate their sense of smell as well, and not only increase brain development, but also make them ideal candidates for future scent work. This program is known as Early Scent Introduction (ESI). Learn more about ENS and ESI
