- If you are shopping for a puppy of any breed, check out this video on how to shop, how to tell if you are dealing with a caring reputable breeder and what questions to ask to insure you are dealing with a quality breeder.
Thank you, we just purchased our mini and thankfully she was not far away. Parents were on site , she provides health testing, she also screens the individuals who are purchasing, we were able to meet her and see the pup. We couldn’t touch her yet ( she was only 4 weeks old ) and needed her completed vaccination. We will get her at 8 weeks ( Feb 10th ). She also said for any reason we couldn’t keep her to bring her back to her. Not to ever give her to anyone else. We will also receive all papers. Great video, we made the right choice .
Breeze, it sounds like you found an awesome breeder! Good luck with your new baby!
Thank you. Great info.just wish people would listen.
Thank you so much for your kind comment.
I recently adopted a red tri mini aussie male from a hobbyist breeder. He was going to be a stud but was too big, so now he is gonna travel with our little family around the US :D
Hi Waffle, welcome to the channel! You can't believe how often that happens. Sounds like your pup won the lottery when he sized out!
BUYING A PUPPY FROM YOU IS HARDER THAN ADOPTING ONE KID. WOW!! AMAZING YOUR A SAVAGE.😮😅
Yep. And all of my puppy adopters appreciate me and I appreciate them. I can sleep at night knowing that my puppies are in responsible committed homes. Thanks for the smile and for the comment Yaya!
@@dreamgaits WOW! FAST REDPONSE I LIKE IT. THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR BEAUTIFUL DOGS WITH ME. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
I’m having such a hard time focusing on what you are saying because they are so darn cute!!!!!!
Too funny! Thanks for your sweet comment.
@@dreamgaits 🤗
Those puppies are so adorable!! And great info on choosing the breeder for your furry family member! I couldn’t be happier with my girl!
Thank you for giving her such a wonderful home. I love getting the updates.
@@dreamgaits how much are the dogs may I ask?
Love this video.
Thank you so much! Your comment made me smile!
I’ve been researching on aussies for over a year now looking to get a pup & I can’t tell you how many scammers I’ve run into! It’s so sad.. Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos, I’ve watched every single one!! I haven’t find anyone on TH-cam that’s given me as much information as you :))
Yes, it is really sad. I hope this video helps people avoid getting scammed.
They are so pretty! Cant wait to bring Elton home 😍
He is doing great. Such an easy going guy.
Great advice from a great source! And the puppies are so fun to watch!
Thank you! Bodie looks just like his dad!!!
Thanks again for a great educational video. Although I did not adopt my pup from you, bummer! Mine was born within days of this litter so I'm finding it very useful. Much love to you and your fur family
My videos are for everyone. I am glad you are finding mine helpful. Lots more to come.
Hi! Thank you for the video! I am currently looking for a breeder and I am so lost this helped me a lot thank you! :D
I wish I could just buy from you 😂
You can get one from me. Check out my website I am having puppies this week. www.kaleidoscopetoyaussies.weebly.com
You can fly into RDU we live 15 minutes from there and take your puppy home in the cabin of the plane if you live too far to drive.
Thank You for the info, it’s has made me plan and research my quest for a quality breeder. Can you please let me know when you plan to breed your dogs again ? I’m looking for a puppy and I’m willing to wait for the best puppy.
Hi Jason, I am expecting puppies from Jessie and Shelby and Blue and Storm. Send an inquiry though the website. www.kaleidoscopetoyaussies.weebly.com Thanks!
Thank you for watching this video. I hope you find it helpful.
Thanks for the video! Do you think it matters if the pups are akc vs asdr registered? Or does it not matter which they’re registered with as long as parents are genetically tested and pup vet checked?
No it does not matter. The most important thing is getting a dog with dna testing for diseases. Most AKC dogs were ASDR dogs first. The book is still open and you can register an ASDR dog AKC if you want. One thing to watch out for is AKC allowed full sized Australian Shepherds to be registered as minis to bring "breed type" into the breed, so some AKC "minis" are upward of 50 pounds. Be sure you know what sizes the parents are and if standards are in the background.
@@dreamgaits Thank you!
I'm beginning my research. Your information is very helpful. I am wondering why many breeders remove the tails? Why do you keep them on?
Why would anyone cut off a body part just for looks? That is why they are cut off. For fashion.
@@dreamgaits Very strange. I had an American Eskimo and loved watching her tail wag when she was happy.
That is false and you know it as a breeder you know better then that it is done for safety and health reasons these dogs are meant for herding that tail cam become very dangerous in that lifestyle don't talk about stuff you don't know I can tell by your voice your a beotch
I pick up my new red tri baby girl Feb 2nd. Been a while since I've had a pup...can you share your favorite toy suggestions?
Lambchop!
I will do a video on that! Best chew toy is a bully stick, hands down. Lasts longer and really works those little jaws.
@@dreamgaits Good, I already got some of those!
I've corresponded with a seemingly wonderful breeder in my "region" (state) over the past few years...she doesn't vaccinate her puppies as she prefers that your/my vet take care of that. Would that be an issue? She also leaves the tail and dew claws intact (I prefer having a tail which is how I found her)...do the dew claws cause any issues? Though I recently fenced my yard, I love your suggesting of using pens since there are areas I'd not want them to get into. Thank you!
Great question. If your breeder vaccinates her mother dogs or does titer tests I would not consider it an issue provided you are getting your puppy before 12 weeks old. Just my opinion. Honestly, I would not vaccinate mine at eight weeks but people expect it. They should have good immunity from their mother until about four months of age but that varies so vaccines start at eight weeks at least that is the theory. I would MUCH rather get an unvaccinated puppy from a healthy mother than a puppy that has had two or three sets of shots by eight weeks. Rear dews need to come off. If your puppy has rears they need to come off at three days. I would insist on that. If they don't you can have them removed at the time of spay or neuter but it is a much bigger deal and is going to cost you $$$$.
@@dreamgaits thank you for all the wonderful information, as I WILL be keeping all of that in mind/use!
I have a 8 year old toy/ mini aussie, mom was mini, dad toy. Did a DNA test and only aussie in him. But he's super short, but has more hair than any aussie I ever seen. Looks simular to one you are grooming, except he's a red tricolor. I know bad, but I was having groomer take his top coat off to, in my thinking help him in summer, but I realize now that is bad. So I have no idea what to do to get coat that whispy coat, my boy has a super dense thick, beautiful coat, but is wayyyy too thick(like a Husky) my friend has a husky and is very simular coat in how thick it is. I know all the dogs the breeder I went to look like they have the more normal coat, he just got the super dense DNA. Might be to toy/mini mix, I dunno. So what do I tell groomer or what should I do to thin coat a lot. My channel has a short to show how thick his coat is, I didn't post it for that, but least shows him, it's much more hair now. Funny thing is, my aussie is the most laid back, doesn't bark at other dogs, doesn't like to play ball or play with other dogs, perfect couch dog, I know most are not like that. I have another mini aussie and she is hyper, herds dogs, barks, plays ball, totally opposite. DNA test showed he has that mrd1 Gene, people need to be aware of that to not use something like ivermectin, can kill the dogs with that Gene.
Hi Rotwiler, I saw the short of him in the car but could not tell much about his coat. Looks to be well bred, probably show bred, like my Shelby very thick coat. They come in all kinds of coats. It's ok if his coat is thick. You can have the groomer rake out a lot of the undercoat, leave the top coat. They can blow it out and rake it out and use a blade rake, but have a groomer do it. At least 4 times a year would be my suggestion. Do not let them cut the top coat. Beautiful dog.
@@dreamgaits Thank you, his coat is now back to normal, just want him comfortable, I know in summer he seems so hot. Will talk to groomer and stop shaving his top coat.
@@rotwiler7674 He is really beautiful, what a doll. Glad he got his coat back.
I just got a puppy and I found it odd that the breeder did not ask us any questions about our lifestyle and also gave us full registration (not limited) but he checked other boxes like a “complete satisfaction guarantee” in writing. He said to me if for any reason you don’t want the dog bring it back here. I didn’t ask to see the parents but I saw the sire on his website. I wish I would have seen this video sooner and asked more questions. I just assumed since the dogs are AKC registered he was legit. Is that not necessarily the case?
Hi Trick Biscuit, Thank you for reaching out. Many puppy mills are AKC. AKC is simply a registry like any other. It just happens to be the biggest. They do have an inspection policy and require studs to be DNA tested. I have nothing against AKC, but many people think if a dog is AKC it is somehow better than if it cam from other registries. You can find AKC dogs in pet stores and all petstore puppies come from puppy mills. I am glad you found the video, but too bad after the fact. I hope you have many wonderful years with your puppy. I have tons of puppy training videos so I hope you will subscribe and join our pack. Also feel free to ask questions. You did not mention what kind of puppy you got.
@@dreamgaits we got a German shorthaired pointer. She is adorable with a great temperament! I think I have subscribed and I’ve watched a lot of your videos in the last week. They have helped me a lot. Especially the video about playing/bonding. I’ve really got to get my spouse to watch your videos. He wants to treat train because he doesn’t know anything else. Love your content. Thanks!
@@trick_biscuit7424 Hi trickbiscuit, I had a German shorthaired pointer when I was in my 20s. Best dog ever but tons and tons of energy! My "Heidi" followed us on the horse trails and my neighbor would borrow her for bird hunting. Fantastic dog. Have fun with your new puppy. They are smart, smart and they want to be trained and learn.
@@dreamgaitsCharlie is 4 months old and teething and the breeder that we got her from let her jump all over his furniture. I’m not use to this problem because we let our previous dogs on the furniture but decided to not let Charlie be a furniture dog. We are being consistent but are constantly getting her off the furniture. Im not sure if what we’re doing is working. We’ve only had her for a week. I need more training than she does I think.
@@trick_biscuit7424 Keep her on a leash in the house. At that age she can drag a leash as long as your eyes are on her. A short leash is good. When you are sitting on the couch have your foot on the leash at a length that she can stand, sit or lay down. She will jump against that pressure and self correct. Dont say anything. Just let her self correct. She she quits jumping up and sits or lays down gently stroke her. NO treats. You can give her something to chew while she is laying there since she is teething.
Your puppies have tails! I wish they didn’t take our aussies tail. Since it’s a pet dog and not a farm dog. I miss her tail when I see other aussies w tails
Even farm dogs should keep their tails. Border Collies are the number one farm dog and they keep their tails. It is a myth that farm dogs need their tails chopped off. Thanks for your comment!
Well we are getting a puppy from someone from the family so idk
You don't know what?
What about, asking for a videocall to meet the parents… bc of covid
You could do that for sure. Most are allowing visitors outside now due to restrictions being lifted.
@@dreamgaits that’s great thanks for the info!! Ive been trying to find a good one to get an Aussie and I considered buying from you but its very far away.. so do you possibly have any tips on where I should look??
Hello do you have any puppies available currently?
Hi Gracie, No pups currently. We plan to have a litter this winter probably with Shelby and Barkley. Info www.kaleidoscopetoyaussies.weebly.com
We had a puppy scammer incident a few months ago. Guy took the money and never delivered. How can anyone put them on a plane and ship them ? It was fun watching the pups in teh sun...the black one seems a little pushy...
I am so sorry that happened to you. I hope this video helps you find a good breeder.
What's the name of the breeder that scammed you?
The best time to get your puppy is at 3 months
Thank you for your comment.
🙂
