Why Choose Us As The Breeder Of Your Next Pure Bred Miniature Australian Shepherd Puppy?
So you have done your research and have decided that a Miniature Australian Shepherd is the breed for you, congratulations! It can be a fun and very rewarding experience for both of you. Many people may ask themselves " why is it such a big deal to make sure that I am choosing the right breeder " ? I hope to explain this question to you a little more in-depth.
One of the biggest and most important difference between a dedicated breeder and a backyard breeder is the overall quality of the puppy that you will be receiving. A dedicated breeder will spend the better part of their days or nights and up very late doing countless research on their breed, the pedigree's, and the health of their breed. A backyard breeder typically does very little research on their breed. This can be a big problem because although the Aussie is generally a very healthy & hearty dog but like all breeds they can have some genetic health issues. A dedicated breeder should be aware of the potential health issues for their breed and should do the appropriate genetic health testing necessary on their parents to insure that they are producing the most sound and healthy puppies possible.
A dedicated breeder will take the time to help you decide if this breed is right for you and even go as far to help you pick out a puppy that may best suit you or your family. A dedicated breeder only produces a litter with the goal of improving their breed. They do not breed to make money or to sell puppies because a breed has become popular and puppy buyers are eager to buy. Please pay special attention to this, as Toy and Miniature Australian Shepherds are a very popular breed and there are many backyard breeders breeding puppies just to make money. Breeding a litter of puppies is very costly if the litter is cared for properly there is a great deal of time, effort, and money involved. The old saying can certainly hold true " Sometimes You Get What You Pay For ". The prices of our puppies Most Typically will range from $800.00 - $1,500.00 depending on whether you are looking for a family pet/companion or a show/breeding prospect. We will only award show/breeding rights to dedicated and well established breeders or kennels with the betterment of the breed in mind.
Most importantly make sure you get a contract for your new puppy. A dedicated breeder should always offer some type of genetic health guarantee with both parties in mind, if not take that as a warning.
