Hi Dogmate. To give you an idea about the price of our breed and what some breeders do... Our Australian Shepherds are sold for $1,000.00 on limit registration, which is in the lower price range for a pet Aussie. Australian Shepherd parents need to have their hips scored prior to being bred. Australian Shepherd puppies need to be vaccinated and microchipped prior to sale. Other tests (which we do) are Elbow Scoring, Eye Screening and DNA testing for CEA, HC, MDR1, NBT, and PRA. Our puppies come with the required microchip and vaccination, as well as a full health guarantee, worming, flea prevention, eye screening and a puppy folder full of information and photos etc. Feel free to PM me here for more information on the breed. :)

Ask when you make your first email or call, but don't make it your first question. IMO health is more important then price, so I like to see others ask about health testing and then price.

I've done it twice. Both times interstate frozen Both times the AI was around $700. Whelped twelve and then ten puppies.

If all else fails, the puppy is welcome here. I have a five day old litter. However I am in Whyalla which is a four hour drive.

I apologize for the lateness in reply, Aziah. Here are some photos for you and those in the thread who are interested. :) Facebook link to publicly shared album with more photos: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.423912104332748.98350.100001418870999&type=1

NOTE: This is NOT my puppy, I've plucked this from http://www.ashgi.org...tic_Merles.html untill I finish photographing my babies.

Sorry Aziah; I just saw this! We've been up at the vet doing Dewclaws, (Gee that got expensive!) I'll load some photos up for you tonight. Are we facebook friends?

Alice and Keeper welcomed eight babies into the world on September 11th. Although Alice whelped ten; one was stillborn and another so tiny that she died shortly after. There are three girls and five boys: 1 x Black Tri Girl 2 x Blue Merle Girls 1 x Black Tri Boy 3 x Blue Merle Boys 1 x Phantom/Cryptic Blue Merle Boy A couple of photos of some pretty merles <3

Just popping in quickly to say we have babies. :) Will be back with photos and information when on the PC.

We're O- and O+ but are booked in for next week.

No it's fine. I just can't ethically contribute the the sale of those "breeds".

Do you have the breeders contact details? Type delete, type delete. I'm sorry - You'll have to google for her details.

I know of one breeder who has imported and has bred her minis. They are not ANKC registered.

All the dogs are mine. Ben loves Ross, Blush loves me, Alice loves us equally, Hannah only loves me.

at three weeks you can ultrasound. ;)

I'm guessing eight. Five boys and three girls. :) Congratulations GoldenWei and Willow! But she's a girl short. ;) Jokes. I think we're next. Alice is nesting EVERYWHERE.

We've got our dogs, plus the dogs that are in between homes.. We never have more then ten here, unless there's a litter of puppies. lol.

Congratulations on the beautiful babies, and my condolences to those who didn't make it. xx

Way to go Aurora! She's absolutely gorgeous!

I can see six from my iPhone, Could luck and congrats.

Congratulations! Best of luck for a smooth and easy whelping. May you have fat healthy babies in no time!

For those who have X Trails with Puppy Bars instead of the standard Cargo Barrier (If there are any such people here); can you please post photos and prices so that I can look at changing my cargo barrier for fitted puppy bars? :)

Hiya Sharon, can you PM/email me again please? I sent you an email. ;) As for supplementing; this litter I have decided to try using K9 Showstopper and K9 Puppy Gold. http://whelpingsuppl...iewCat&catId=71 I have pretty good records of weights of mum and babies throughout the last litter so will be comparing again with this litter (though the sires are different). I had Alice building up to the daily amount on the packaging for K9 Showstopper, and then begun using K9 Puppy Gold instead after ultrasound confirmation around day 28. I'll continue to feed Alice K9 Puppy Gold and then the puppies can have it as well when they begin to wean.

On average; Alice gained 55.3gm of weight per day of pregnancy 1. She was two years old. On average; Alice is gaining 128gm of weight per day of pregnancy 2. She is three years old. Maybe the girls keep getting bigger each litter? ETA: This time around I have been supplementing Alice with K9 showstopper earlier in the pregnancy and then Puppy Gold after ultrasound. Surgical Frozen??? Awesome results :) Yes, both by Surgical Insemination. :) Thanks. :) Cannot wait until Friday morning for the xrays. :)
