We are currently planning a litter for late 2009, but in the meantime, have nothing available at this time. Please contact us for a refferal as we know of several litters available with other breeders in the area.

We choose to follow the USASA Code of Ethics when it comes to breeding:

Members will not breed a dog or bitch which has hereditary defects or serious or disqualifying faults listed in the adopted AKC breed standard that adversely affect the overall soundness or working ability.

1. Members shall not use any dog or bitch for breeding until documented by licensed veterinarians / ophthalmologists to be free of both hip dysplasia and hereditary eye defects.
2. Members shall use only dogs for breeding which are temperamentally sound, refraining from the use of animals which display vicious propensities and/or extreme shyness.
3. Members shall not use bitches for breeding unless and until they attain their second season or are eighteen months of age. A normal bitch (i.e. having a six month cycle) should not be bred more than 2 out of 3 consecutive seasons unless so directed by a licensed veterinarian.
4. It is strongly advised that a written agreement be established between the owners of the stud dog and the brood bitch, stating the exact conditions of the breeding.
5. Members will not agree to or purposefully breed any Australian Shepherd to non-registered Australian Shepherds, dogs of other breeds or mixed breeds.
