2 BOYS STILL
AVAILABLE!!!


"Bruiser"
black bi
male
red-factored ~ brown eyes ~ full tail/docked ~ light
coat
*
AVAILABLE *
Bruiser's a rough and tumble kind of pup, with no quit and a heart of gold. When he's happy to see
people, he jumps up and down with excitement, and his little nub doesn't just wiggle, it vibrates! He's
dominant but biddable, very self-assured and extremely playful. He can also be
quite affectionate when it suits him, and loves to have his back and belly scratched.
He will require a firm education, and would make a great working and/or
performance partner for an experienced
handler.
Windy Mesa's One Bodacious Dude
"Bode"
red merle male
blue eyes ~ full
tail/docked ~ moderate coat
* AVAILABLE *
Bode is a real ladies' man, who loves and
craves attention. He's very sweet and loves to snuggle and have his belly
rubbed. He is dominant, but responds very well to firm, consistent handling.
He's very attentive, is an excellent performance prospect, and will make
a wonderful buddy for someone.
Their second exposure to chickens at 7 weeks old

Bruiser showed some interest and
would watch and sometimes follow the chickens, but he was easily distracted by
the loose feathers on the ground.

Bode watched
the chickens very intently, and approached them very slowly and cautiously,
rarely taking his focus off of them.

This litter's pedigree is
full of Working Champions and Hall of Famers! Linebred on
the world renowned Hangin' Tree bloodlines, this cross is
expected to have loads of working instinct. Both parents have shown lots
of natural talent and ability. Beamer has a wonderful
temperament and is a calm, careful worker. Gabby is a very sweet, loving little
girl, but is an aggressive worker with a lot of intensity, a great
sense of group and natural fetch. Preferred families for this litter are
those that work or trial stock and/or compete in performance venues.
Pet homes may also be considered, preferably those
who have experience raising Aussies. All puppies are expected to grow to be
very
moderately
sized. COI for this litter is approximately 17.9%. Puppies are ASCA, AKC &
CKC* registered. Price is $800 ($650 for
any puppies that are faulted
in any way); a $100 deposit is required to hold the puppy of your choice.
Extra
incentives are available for those pups that are neutered
before 10 months of age (please read our
Puppy
Contract
for details).

PUPPY CONTRACT
Each puppy will go to its
new home with an extensive Puppy Packet, which will include:
* complete health record
* an original copy of the Sales Contract
* registration application papers (unless otherwise specified)
* pictures of the puppy, littermates
and parents (available on CD upon request)
* copies of
the dam and sire's health clearances
* five-generation pedigree
* bag of
puppy food
* leash and collar
* familiar toy
Pups will have their
tails docked, dewclaws removed, be vet-checked, dewormed, and shots will be up-to-date before
going to their new homes. Eye clearances may or may not be administered,
depending on if a certified ophthalmologist is available locally. Puppies will be
ready to go to their new homes at 8 weeks of age. We recommend puppy buyers to come
pick up their pup in person, as we prefer not to ship our dogs. This will
also help you to choose first-hand the puppy that's right for you. If you are unable
to travel this far, we may be able to make arrangements to meet with you somewhere in
between. Shipping will be considered only as a last resort.
We strongly believe in responsible breeding. All of our breeding stock have a minimum of their hips and eyes checked before breeding, and each pedigree is carefully researched before breeding pairs are decided on. We try our best to make sure that every puppy we produce is physically and genetically sound, not only to benefit the buyer, but also for the benefit of the breed. We require that all potential buyers fill out a questionnaire , to ensure that each Aussie puppy goes to the right home. For instance, a puppy with strong prey drive wouldn't be placed in a home with small children looking for a pet. Please keep in mind that Aussies aren't for everyone (please read the article below).
We do not discriminate price based on sex, temperament, color, eye color, or trim, except when it conflicts with the breed standard .
We're hoping to take Gabby to Buddy in
2009
Mistretta's Dancing Shadow STDc ATDds DNA-CP
Buddy is OFA good, eyes cleared, scissor bite, full dentition, mdr1
normal/normal
This cross will be a combination of some very awesome, highly intelligent lines with excellent herding instincts. Buddy is linebred Mistretta, an old, established Aussie bloodline, widely known for their rich, striking colors, wonderful temperaments, keen herding instincts, sound structure and excellent health. Gabby is linebred Hangin' Tree, most popular for their strong, natural herding abilities, classic Aussie appearance and biddability. Buddy has offspring that are currently competing in herding, agility, tracking, obedience and musical freestyle. Pups from this litter should have lots of natural stock instinct, with the potential to excel in performance venues as well. All colors are possible, with bis and tris. Pups will be ASCA & AKC registered. A reservation list for this litter has already begun.
