Breeding Philosophy
We breed on a very limited basis and only when we plan to keep something for ourselves. First and foremost, we breed for healthy dogs with rock solid temperaments combined with correct structure, soundness in movement and classic aussie type. Our goal with each breeding is an aussie that can win in the conformation ring, then compete in performance venues, play gently with children and still retain herding instinct. We want them to be able to do this with classic aussie enthusiasm and humor. Each breeding is planned with our goals and the betterment of the breed in mind. Structure, movement, and type are essential for our goals in the breed ring. Just as important is a sound, willing temperament and the potential to succeed in herding. Health is extremely important as well. Hip and elbow ratings and CERF are obtained on all dogs in our breeding program. We look for loving homes for our puppies that will give them the activity they crave. Like all Aussies, their minds and bodies need to be kept busy! It is very important to us to try and match the right puppy with the right home. An aussie is NOT for everyone! All puppies are sold with full contracts and are guaranteed against hereditary defects. Pet quality puppies are sold on limited registration and must be spayed or neutered. All puppies are ASCA/CKC registered and leave us with appropriate vaccinations, a strong history of socialization, and a CERF eye exam from a qualified veterinary ophthalmologist. |
