We have such a high demand for babies that we have started accepting pre-deposits on puppies! Pre deposit holders will be contacted first when puppies are born basically giving them "pick of the litter". However, no puppy is considered SOLD until it has been claimed by a pre-deposit holder or someone puts a deposit down after he/she is born. LET IT BE KNOWN, OUR DEPOSITS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE BUT THEY ARE TRANSFERABLE!
I will give you 5 days from the day you pick your puppy out to receive your payment.
Final Payments are cash ONLY!

Waiting list - We no longer do waitlists. This has taken up lots of time trying to reach everyone on our waitlist. What is happening is people are asking to be put on a waitlist and they are either not ready, found another puppy, or just not replying back when they are the ones who told us to contact them. I'm more then happy to visit with anyone who is on the fence via text message, phone call, messenger.
Applications- We are now requiring applications to be placed for all future puppy buyers. This is for us to help get to know you and what your looking for. This application will need to be filled out along with the deposit contract. IF your not sure about putting a deposit down but want to submit a Application there is a $50 application fee that will take place. By putting in application shows you're ready for the next step. this Application fee doesn't go towards your puppy total. This is also non- refundable.
Not Docking tails - We have no problem not docking your puppies tail, however, we do require you to pay Full purchase price to keep tail. This decision will have to be made within 48 hours of Litter being born.
- Why? We do things this way, as many people want an Aussie with a docked tail, if you decide to back out it will be too late to have the puppies tail docked, so the puppy will have to wait extra long to find the perfect home. Also we follow Breed Standards and that is docking tails and removing dewclaws if not paid in full.
Deposits- Deposits are NON-REFUNDABLE, Deposits are $350 for Limited Right. $400 for full rights. Your deposit will hold the puppy of choice until their ready to go at 8 weeks. The remaining amount is due at pick up. (Cash only at pick up)
Payment- We accept deposits through Venmo (Must add me as a friend first before sending payment). Money order check with tracking. Puppy will be held 5 days until payment is received and clears my account.
Payment Plans- We do NOT do payment plans unless its in the 8 week span before going home, we recommend saving up then reaching out, or get on our waiting list and save up.
Final Payment
The oustanding balance must be paid in CASH the day of pick up, no acceptions I wont take checks or venmo, so please remember to go to bank before coming down to pick up your puppy. The only time I will take a check or venmo for final payment is if puppy is shipping out. This payment will need to be paid 10 days prior to puppy leaving to make sure it clears the banks before they leave. Checks need to be sent 2 weeks in advance. IF I do not recieve the payment 10 days before puppy leaves your puppy will not be shipped out until money has cleared my account no acceptions!
Going Home (Gotcha Day):
Our Puppies are usually ready to go home at 8-10 weeks old. This depends on the readiness of the individual pup. Not very often do they take up to 10 weeks to be ready but can happen. At 7 weeks Pick up dates need to be discussed and times so it goes smoothly. The Puppy insurance I recommend this gets activated 24 hours Prior to picking up puppy so it is active for when you leave with your puppy home.
You MUST be prepared to either pick your puppy up, or have your puppy transported to you within 10 days of our release date. We do charge a boarding fee of $30 per day for anything over this period. Boarding fees must be paid in advance. Furthermore, we also require purchase agreement to be signed by BOTH parties before a dog ever leaves our care-custody-control. This is to obviously to protect EVERYONE involved in the sale!
We will no longer be allowing people to come to our house to pick up their puppy. This is a safety concern for our program and puppies. We have carefully thought out all options and chose this will be the best. With the mount of theft, diseases-Parvo that will wipe out puppies. There have been many breeders who has been assaulted and had their place scoped out. This world isn’t the same as it use to be. Thank you all for understanding and we appreciate all the love and support. we are happy to facetime anyone that want to see their puppy.
New Home Stress: It is Stressful for puppies to leave the place they were raised. Your puppy may not feel great for a couple days due to the stress of this, they usually come bouncing back after 24-48 hours. Puppies often get diarrhea when stressed and sometimes it even contains bright blood so do not be alarmed. Fortunately, the diarrhea episode is often short lived and resolves within 24 to 48 hours. They may go off their feed / fast and this is normal, However a slight built or tiny puppy when off feed can go Hypoglycemic (low blood sugar) and this can be life threatening. If your puppy goes off food you should watch for signs of Hypoglycemia
Yogurt and canned pumpkin can assist with loose stools
Diarrhea can cause dehydration so be sure and watch for Signs of dehydration: Dry gums, Lethargy, Loss of skin elasticity. You may encourage drinking by mixing cranberry juice in water or baby Pedialyte.
See your vet if your puppy shows signs of dehydration or hypoglycemia and refuses liquids or if the diarrhea does not subside in a day or two.
