About us and our puppies...

Hey everyone, 
First of all I want to thank you for expressing interest in our puppies. Before we embark on this journey together I feel I must share some info with you !

We are a small kennel and we only plan to have 1-2 litters / year. This is most important for us because each and every litter needs attention and dedication. The puppies are born in our house and are raised beside our family. We consider each puppy to be unique in characteristics, and we dedicate the time spent together with them knowing their temperament and needs. 
What does this mean? It means that our puppies are not chosen by color or from pictures. 
We talk individually with ever person/family that considers having one of our babies. If the distance permits it we encourage you to come and visit us and the dogs. Meet them, spend a day with us and see if it is what you imagined. 
Our puppies are raised with the Puppy Culture program. This means that from the 3rd day of life and until they leave for their new home we work with them on different levels. Socialisation, sound/surface/etc habituation, clicker training, crate training, attention, recall, leash training, etc. We also provide a video course + book for the future owners to help them understand the next steps in puppy raising. On top of all this, communication between us and you is key. Preparing the house, the accessories and everything you need to make your puppy feel at home when he/she arrives ! 

As I have said before, puppies are raised in our home with our children and are used to everyday life and activities!
Yes, Australians Shepherds can be a high drive bread. And this is why we like to pair puppies by character and temperament. 

For the ones that understand romanian, here is a video about Puppy culture: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhv0HfNTVXc and about bringing a new puppy into your home: www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDAn3DE2ilQ&t=4436s

Pet puppies/ Co-owning/ Show puppies:
 Another important aspect of our breeding is that the majority of puppies are placed as Pet Quality puppies. What does this mean? This means that puppies are without Breeding of Show rights. All puppy pedigrees will remain with the breeder until the puppy is sterilised/castrated. The Pet Quality referes to nothing else but the pure paperwork that comes with the baby - it does NOT mean in any way that the puppy is less healthy or perfect ! They are, again, all the same in our eyes. Why do we do this ? Because the majority of people coming to us are not breeders or have any experience about aussies or breeding and we consider it important to hold the rains to the future of our breed tight and under supervision. 
 Co-ownership situations occur when we feel a puppy of a high quality can go to a family that is located near us or to a breeder/handler which whom we are able to comunicate closely. What does co-ownership mean ? It means that the breeding and show rights for the puppy are ours and the puppy is just a normal Pet puppy. IF we consider that the puppy is Show Quality when he/she has matured, then we will take the puppy to shows and do all the necessary measures for breeding. 
 Selling Show Quality puppies is a difficult choice, and we take it very very seriously. So if you are looking for something like this, you would have to be patient and colaborate closely with us !
