About the breed
Aussies are a wonderful breed...in the right home. For those who fit the Aussie's profile, few other breeds can match their intelligence and devotion. Others may find themselves with more dog than they bargained for, and a liability on their hands. If you are new to the breed, please be sure to do your homework before moving forward. Start here for more information about the breed as a family companion, and feel free to email with questions and concerns to see if this might be the right - or wrong - breed for you.
Getting a pup
Already know the breed is right for you, and looking for an Aussie pup to add to your family? Great! I'd love to chat (I'm easiest to reach by email!). But please do us both a favor and read through this great blog post first: Puppy buyer etiquette

Anyone hoping to get a puppy from a reputable breeder should expect to be placed on a waiting list for a future litter. The process may take months, or more than a year or two! Potential homes are carefully screened before committing to a waiting list.

We've reached some scary and uncertain times in our country, and I've been sitting back and watching the direction the economy is headed in before making a decision to breed a litter, while also dealing with personal life stuff in the interim. It's been my plan to wait for more surety before making the decision to bring more souls into this world, as my girls tend to be QUITE fertile.
​
​However, my girls are not getting younger each day, and I risk losing the genetics I've built over the past 3 decades if I don't make a move soon. Therefore I'm strongly considering breeding Tarot in the near future for a late winter (2026) litter. I'd be thrilled to get input​ from those of you checking in on my plans.
