Q: Do they make good companions?

A Toy and Miniature Australian Shepherd can be an excellent companion for other pets and children.

Q: Are they easy to train?

They love constant stimulation and can be trained to do just about anything! They will be bored with a sedentary lifestyle. This is not the kind of dog for someone who works out of the house all day and/or keeps their Aussie kenneled for long periods of time.

Q: Do they need to be socialized?

Australian Shepherds are sometimes shy around strangers. Socializing them as puppies can help lessen this behavior. In general, they bond very closely with other people. We strongly recommend Puppy School (all of our pups comes with a lifetime membership to online puppy school) and continuing their education to help keep them socialized and stimulated.

The best breeder I have dealt with in my lifetime

Hands down the best breeder I dealt with in my lifetime. Informative, detail-oriented, friendly and professional. Responded to all of my texts and emails.
