The following is a general price list for our puppies.

This a general price list for our puppies:

Merle Female: $1200 and up
Merle Male: $1100 and up
Bi/Tri Female: $950 and up

Note: We do not sell our puppies with breeding rights.
Breeding rights are occasionally granted and negotiated on an individual basis
.

Deposits:
To hold your puppy selection before SEVEN weeks of age, we require a signed pre-purchase contract and a deposit of $350.

We accept cash, money orders, or credit card payment. When paying by credit card,there is a 2.95% handling fee charged by PayPal for each transaction.


SHIPPING: We do not recommend cargo shipping our puppies, as we have found that this is a traumatic experience for our dogs, and they can be left for hours at airports if the weather is not within the required temperature ranges, etc.
We will fly with the pup in the cabin, and deliver it to the new owner, or the new owner may come here to pick up the pup and fly home with it. Cost of air transportation is in addition to the sale price of the puppy. (If you are flying from outside of Texas, we will meet you at the San Antonio, Austin or Houston airports
at no additional charge).
We will also meet a prospective owner who are traveling by car
half-way if the driving distance is reasonable.


A note regarding pricing: Occasionally, two seemingly similar dogs in the same litter may be priced differently due to the fact that one might be “pet” quality and the other “show” quality.

No one can guarantee just what the puppy will grow up to look like, but a quality breeder can see potential and should be honest with you in evaluating their puppies.

Our puppies are evaluated for breed conformation as well as aptitude using Wendy Volhart's Puppy Aptitude Test, a simple yet very intuitive testing method.

Our evaluation panel is an informal group of experienced breeders and trainers who seek, as we do, to maintain the integrity of the breed, promoting intellect, personality, as well as conformation to breed standard.

If you are looking for a nice toy/mini Australian Shepherd, and I do not have what you are looking for, I will gladly forward your request over to a reputable toy/mini Aussie breeder.

We know some great breeders, and there is no reason for anyone to get an unhealthy pup - just be cautious and stay away from puppy mills and watch for disreputable breeders. You might save $200-300 initially, but that savings could dwindle quickly with an unhealthy pup!

We guarantee happy, healthy, socialized puppies. Each pup will be checked by our veterinarian several times before you receive him or her (see Vet Schedule).

Each pup comes with a special "baby book" that includes photos of your new arrival; a complete veterinary record, including worming, up-to-date shots; Avid Microchip registration; NSDR and MASCA registration applications; tips for crate training and housebreaking.


Our pups are placed with a written contract guaranteeing general health for 72 hours, during which you are required to have your puppy examined by a veterinarian. Our contracts also provide long-term guarantees
against genetic eye disease and canine hip dysplasia.

Please do some research before buying a puppy from anyone. The puppy that might be a bargain now could end up costing more than you think. Remember the old adage you get what you pay for.

With our puppies you get a guarantee in writing and not just promises. We pride ourselves in having healthy puppies and the finest parents possible.
