They know when Linda Jo is supposed to be home!!
As you can see the dogs are part of our family. The puppies are raised lovingly in our home, handled and played with daily, in fact sometimes they won't let us get away!! We introduce them to everything that goes on in a home and when the weather permits in the barn. We have an inside arena and the pups are taken out to play when the weather keeps them from being outside.We have the neighborhood kids come and play with them also, to get them used to children. They are free to run the house thru-out the day so they interact with the other adult dogs and of course the cats. All of our dogs and puppies are happy and healthy both mentally and physically.
Take a look at our contract, you will see we guarantee our puppies for 24 months
against hereditary problems of the hips and eyes. We try very hard to make sure
our breeding lines have nothing in their background so as to produce puppies
that will go on to live very long and productive lives. Prices on the puppies will vary by color, markings,
and sex but will average
between $750.00 and $1,200.00, if selling for breeding an additional charge will
be added to the price.
Our dogs are all tested for hip dysplasia and genetic eye diseases and are all breeding sound. We are here to give support to all our puppy buyers for the life of the puppy. If we don't know the answer we know where to get it for you.
I would also like to add, when looking for your next puppy regardless if it is a Miniature Aussie or any other breed, please make sure to buy from a reputable breeder. Make sure to do your homework and ask if the parents have had at least their hips OFA'd with a minimum of a fair rating but it also depends on the breed for the rating. Also ask if the eyes of the parents have been CERF'd clear and DNA tested for PRA-prcd. The breeder will have a certificate from the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals if the hips, elbows and patella's have been checked. Make sure that the certificate is a permanent rating and not a preliminary as things can change. The minimum that the breeder should have is the hips and eyes. Anything else depends on the breeder. You can also find this information on the OFA website a link is below. If you are given the registered name of the parents you can check yourself to see if this has been done. It saddens me to have to mention this, as I would hope all Breeders are upstanding members of our breed but that is not always the case. As with anything else, Buyer Beware.
