Question 1

Is there a waiting list for your Aussies?

Accepted Answer

Yes, most of the time there is. We only breed once to  twice a year as we believe in quality not quantity. We ensure our mums are well rested, enjoying their lives and are the healthiest they can be when they make fur babies.

Question 2

How are Aussies with kids?

Accepted Answer

Puppies learn what you teach them, so if you bring a puppy up with a child and you are supervising and train both the pup and child what good behaviours are, you can have best buddies for life.

Question 3

What are the most important things to know when taking my pup home?

Accepted Answer

Be organised, make sure you have a dog bed, blanket, some chew toys, the right food and you have puppy proofed your house, yard and the environment you pup will have access to.

Pups take about 24hrs to settle in and its very common the will sleep the first night as their first day is a "big day" for them.

Question 4

What is the nature of an Aussie?

Accepted Answer

From my experience, they are super intelligent and they just want to please you. They are highly intuitive and can read your emotions and they know when to be by your side and when to leave you be.  They love to learn and you can teach them almost anything. They also have a strong sense of "knowing who they are" so if you train them correctly and make the effort in the first 2 years, you will have a well behaved family member.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

We are located on the edge of the Hills overloooking Adelaide.

Question 6

How much do you charge for the fur babies?

Accepted Answer

Prices start at $5500

Question 7

Are your dogs DNA Tested?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely, this is important to know and understand the health of the fur kids.

Question 8

How long does toilet training take?

Accepted Answer

Pups can only hold their bladder for certain times depending on their age. What this means is that each week, they can hold it longer than the previous one.  When they are around 4-5 months old, they should be able to sleep thru the night.

The best tip is this: When your pup wakes up, take it outside immediately and say "do wee's & poo's" as this is how I train them.  They will wee almost instantly but can take up to 20 mins to poo.

They also poo after dinner, so when you feed them, leave them outside until you know they have done one.

Question 9

My Dog is really hard to groom as it doesn't like the brush and hates getting washed, how can I make this easier.?

Accepted Answer

Great question. One of the most important things is to train your puppy in everything from the moment you get it. I fake brush my puppies each day and rub them with a towel. This gets them use to it so it becomes normal.  If your dog is older then its really important  to start brushing them with your hands and making it like a nice light massage. You can hold a brush in one of the hands and slow start to introduce it.  In regards to a wash again, I start washing the puppies frequently from 5 weeks old, this helps them get used to the routine.

One of the most important tips is to remain calm yourself and keep up with it.  You can also use treats to distract them and most of all if they get a nice warm rub at the end, they soon learn to stand still so they can get to the good bit at the end. Hope this helps. There is also a training video on TIKTOK with some tips.

Question 10

What are the temperaments like of your Aussies

Accepted Answer

Our pups are calm, well mannered, very loving, super intelligent and gentle souls.

Question 11

I've not had an Aussie before, i've heard they are velcro dogs is this true?

Accepted Answer

Aussies can be Velcro dogs if you train them to be. for example: If you bring your puppy up to be with you all the time, this is what you teach it to "Be" so thats what they will be.

It's important to start teaching your fur baby to be alone so that when you're not there, it's totally independent and enjoys it's own time which helps you train a well balanced dog.

Recently when I raised my last 2 pups, I let them sleep outside until they were about 4 months old and this taught them thats "where they sleep" and now I'm training them to sleep inside.  Now,  "they are happy to sleep inside or outside" which makes it easy for both yourself the dogs. It gives you flexibility and you don't get a crying dog outside the door.

Question 12

Is a girl dog better than a boy dog?

Accepted Answer

Each dog has its' own unique personality and I believe it's more important that you get the right owner for the right dog rather than focus on the sex of it.

We believe in the right owner for the right owner no matter the sex or colour.

Question 13

I live interstate can I still get a puppy from you?

Accepted Answer

We prefer not to fly or transport our pups and most people will travel to us to collect their new family member.

This is important as it avoids unnecessary stress on the pups and the safety and transition for the pup is a big priority for us.

However for the right owners, we may consider.

Question 14

I have a cat how would a new pup go with it?

Accepted Answer

Your Aussie will "BE" what you teach it to "BE", so if you teach it to be with the cat, they will become best friends.  The great thing with Aussies is their versatility, they love to learn, adapt and be friend with people and animals.
