Pups should mature around 15 to 20 pounds and will have long full tails. Size is hard to predict and a pup may grow larger or smaller than the parents.

Taking deposits now to approved pet and performance homes. I will be posting videos on my youtube channel dreamgaits if you want to check it out. Deposit of $200 is applied to total adoption fee of $2000. Pictures of pups will be removed as pups are spoken for. Pictures will be updated of available puppies weekly. Please read all adoption information below before sending an inquiry. Pups will be ready June 1 and available for pick up in Raleigh, NC. We do not ship puppies. Names of puppies are for reference only. We chose an "Eclipse" theme this time since they were born the day before the Eclipse. You may give your new puppy any name you choose.

Our pups are raised thoughtfully in a clean climate controlled nursery that has light classical music playing at all times. Play light classical music to make your puppy feel at home and help him sleep. Our pups get daily interaction and lots of socialization.
We have a puppy play yard that includes puppy agility equipment. Puppies get daily crate time and car rides (five weeks and older) and are pee pad and doggie door trained. We are not a puppy mill, so we do not have pups available all of the time. We usually raise one litter at a time and only 2-3 litters per year to make sure YOUR puppy gets the attention and care he or she needs. We know our puppies and each gets a temporary name while here. We can tell you a lot about our pups because we spend so much time with each as an individual. Adoption fees vary but are usually around $1500-2500. Some pups are priced individually. Adoption Fee includes lifetime genetic health guarantee in writing with spay/neuter clause on pets, a lot of starter supplies including a carrier for the ride home, some food to get you started, toys, a bed, leash, harness, pee pads, etc. Pretty much all you need is an exercise pen and dishes for starters. Pups will have their eight week DHPP vaccine and have been wormed. Here is a copy of our guarantee and spay/neuter contract. If you adopt a pup from us you must agree to these terms. Deposits to hold a puppy from a particular litter are $500 and are NOT refundable or transferable. Please do not put a deposit on a puppy unless you are sure. Deposit is applied to total adoption fee. Kaleidoscope Toy/Mini Australian Shepherd Pet Puppy Guarantee 2023: ___________ henceforth referred to as seller, agrees to sell the following puppy for the purpose of family pet on this date of ____________ to (henceforth referred to as "buyer"): Name: Address: City/State phone: email: Puppy's Name: Puppy's sire: Puppy's dam: Birth date: Sex: Color: The puppy is guaranteed for life against carrying two copies of any genetic disease that is DNA testable in the Australian Shepherd Orivet 2018 DNA Panel. The puppy is also guaranteed for 24 months against other genetic or congenital diseases (eg. Heart problems, blindness, deafness, severe hip dysplasia,) that would render him/her inappropriate as a family pet. If the puppy is found to have a debilitating congenital or inherited problem in the first 24 months of life that renders her inappropriate as a family pet, the puppy will be replaced with a puppy from another breeding of the same sex and color when next available. No cash refunds are given under any circumstances and it is not necessary for the dog to be returned to the seller for the guarantee to be in effect. In order for the 24 month guarantee to be in effect the BUYER must have the puppy spayed or neutered and send a copy of the vet receipt to the seller by the puppy's twelve month birthday. The seller also guarantees this puppy to be current on traditional core vaccines (DHPP) and deworming at the time of sale. The buyer should be aware that puppies need a series of shots at 3 to 4 week intervals over a period of several months in order to be protected from disease. Buyer agrees to be cautious about taking their puppy to places where they will encounter other dogs or dog waste of unknown vaccine and worming history, until the entire shot series is completed (after 16 weeks of age). Puppies also are notorious for having worms/parasites no matter how much they are dewormed and it is advisable to have your vet perform a fecal exam at the first appointment to determine if further treatments are necessary. Seller does not guarantee against internal and external parasites or communicable disease although we take every measure to prevent infestation and infection. The buyer agrees to never surrender the dog to an animal shelter or rescue. The buyer also agrees to contact seller if it ever becomes necessary to rehome the dog, and to provide seller with the new owners information. The seller will provide application for “limited” registration papers at time of adoption. Pets are provided with limited ASDR or AKC papers, (depending on how the parents are registered), that do not allow breeding or conformation showing. This guarantee is void if there is an ownership change, or if proof of spay/neuter are not provided to seller by the puppy's twelve month birthday.Puppy's registered name will begin with “Kaleidoscope's”. Otherwise, buyer is free to name their own puppy. Seller is not responsible for any vet bills incurred after the puppy is picked up by buyer, and no cash refunds are given. No other guarantee is expressed or implied. This contract is void if and when seller ceases to breed and raise Toy and Mini Australian Shepherds. I understand and agree to the restrictions outlined in this agreement (buyer and seller sign below): |
