Story
These puppies are 100% purebred Australian Shepherds-don't let our website's default "mix" label fool you! They are the real deal, and while they are currently small and fluffy under 20 pounds, they are growing fast. We selected the 20-40 pound range because they will easily reach that size, and they could ultimately mature into sturdy adults weighing up to 50+ pounds.Before you get lost in those irresistible puppy eyes, here is what you need to know about welcoming an Aussie into your home:High Energy, High IntellectThese pups are undoubtedly cute and fluffy, but they are NOT lazy couch potatoes. As a classic working breed, they are built for action, focus, and mental engagement.Does that mean they need to live on a farm? Not necessarily!What it does mean: They need active owners who will give them a "job" to do. Daily intense exercise, puzzle toys, obedience training, and agility games are essential to channel their bright minds and high energy.Personality & Temperament HighlightsSmart: Remarkably intelligent and eager to please. They catch on to house training, tricks, and commands incredibly fast.Active: Bred for all-day ranch work. They require dedicated daily outlets to burn off their physical stamina.Loyal: Deeply devoted and affectionate family companions who bond closely with their people.Herding Instinct: They have a strong natural drive to herd. Potential adopters should expect typical puppy nipping and the occasional attempt to gently "herd" children, other pets, or fast-moving runners.If you are ready for a loyal, athletic, and brilliantly smart companion to join you on every adventure, these purebred pups are ready to meet you!

Comet is a good dog. He has a lot of energy but can also be really chill. I have to move to an apartment from a house and I don't have the time to bring him to the park or let him outside in a backyard. Let me know if interested! Thanks.

Story
Meet BJ! She’s a 1-year-old 60-to-70-pound Aussie/Lab who isn’t just beautiful. She’s very sweet, loves people, and loves toys. She is dog selective, however, rather picky about which other canine she chooses to play with. Overall, she’s a calm girl, but she does have bursts of energy! She’s delightful to have around! (posted 9/19/26, ME) ' ' ' 'Adoption Fee: $395.00-- covers microchip, worming, all vaccines, monthly heart worm preventative, monthly tick/flea preventative, spaying/neutering, health certificate, and complete medical records. Transport Fee: $170.00-- We consider the transport to be of great importance and, as such, take particular care of the dogs during the trip. We make every effort to arrive with healthy and minimally stressed dogs. **It is rare that we know with certainty the ages or mixes that make up our dogs, but we do our best to be as accurate as possible based upon our experience. **September 24, 2026, 12:33 am
