We have raised Miniature Australian
(American)
Shepherds for over fifteen years. Selectively chosen genetics has allowed us to
maintain the breed standard while ensuring a wonderfully intelligent and social
puppy. All of our puppies are examined by a Veterinarian, vaccinated, de-wormed,
well-socialized, and are eligible for AKC (American Kennel Club) as Miniature
American Shepherds. Even after raising puppies for over fifteen years, we have
never produced an unhealthy family pet. We take great pride in understanding and
evaluating the genetics of each of our dogs.
Our puppies are born in a meticulously
designed kennel, which features five individually sectioned (5'x8') private areas for
our mothers. Each section has access to an outside run, but they also have the
option to stay inside the air conditioned or heating. This process helps train
the puppies as they age as they are able to potty outside and then curl up in
their warm bedding area for naptimes. All puppies have cushioned beds where they
enjoy sleeping next to one another, and the occasional roughhousing goes on as
they age. Our adult dogs are also well taken care of, as each has their own
large grassy run (20'x20'), but also covered shelter via sun shades and their own houses.
Our adults thoroughly enjoy going on daily walks through the back part of our
three hundred acre cattle farm. Many enjoy diving into the ponds and a few try their
best at herding a few of our cattle into a circle. All of our dogs are up to
date on all vaccinations, de-worming, tick/flea treatment and are groomed
bi-monthly. We feed a high protein diet of Pro Plan Sport or Savor once a day that keeps everyone happy and
healthy.
All of our puppies are sold on a pet only
contract. There may be a few exceptional individuals from time to time, but we
reserve the right to deny breeding rights. Puppies will be available to go to
their new homes at eight weeks of age. We require a non-refundable deposit of
half of the purchase price of your puppy to hold it for you until it is ready to
join your family. The deposit will be taken off of the purchase price, and puppy
must be paid for in full by the time it joins your home. We are located in
southern Oklahoma and will meet you within an hour distance to pick up your
puppy. If you are located outside Oklahoma, shipping your puppy is an option. We
ship out of the Oklahoma City, Will Rogers World Airport, most commonly on Delta
or United
Airlines. The base price for flying a puppy is $400, which includes cargo
airfare, traveling kennel, and Veterinarian examination. The price can increase
due to the size of your puppy as it is determined by kennel height and weight.
Puppies are not allowed to fly before eight weeks of age unless you fly here and
take your puppy back as a carry-on, often times this option is cheaper and is
more comfortable for your puppy. A small gallon ziplock bag full of puppy food,
registration papers, and shot record will accompany your puppy on its journey to
your home. Of course, all puppies are well-cared for with food and water during
the flight, and most airlines now have heated/air conditioned cargo trailers to
carry the puppy from the airplane into the airport and vice versa. However, in
extreme heat or cold it is impossible to send a puppy on the flight and we will
do our best to accommodate that instance.
