OUR POLICIES
If you’ve made it to this section of our website, we believe you’ve done your research and understand what makes the Australian Shepherd such an extraordinary breed. Aussies are known for their intelligence and strong drive to have a purpose. Early training is crucial to laying a solid foundation and shaping their unique personality. Often called "Velcro Dogs," Aussies form deep attachments to their owners, becoming your loyal shadow and dedicating their lives to being by your side. This breed thrives on companionship and in return, will give you more love and devotion than you could ever imagine.
PRICING
Our pricing varies based on the specific characteristics of each puppy, considering factors such as size, sex, color, markings, eye color, conformation, genetic (health and color) testing, pedigree, and overall quality. Occasionally, we may offer a puppy with a mismark or one that is a bit older at a reduced price for a pet-only home. Please note that our prices are estimates and may fluctuate based on market trends and demand. While the combination of traits will influence price, every Outland Aussie puppy is loved and makes an exceptional companion.
Below are our starting prices. Keep in mind that merles and smaller toys are typically priced higher due to their popularity.
MINI AUSSIES (14-16” tall, 20-35 lbs)
TOY AUSSIES (10-14” tall, 13-20 lbs)
Tri: $1,500+ ($1,500 - $2,000)
BET (Blue-Eyed Tri): $2,000+ ($2,000 - $2,500)
Merle: $2,500+ ($2,500 - $3,000)
Please note that while we can offer a good idea of adult size and eye color, these cannot be guaranteed. Additionally, we do not hold or allow selections based solely on eye color.
Puppy reservations are taken on a first-come, first-served basis according to the order of deposits or full payments received for that specific puppy. We require a non-refundable deposit of $350, which will be applied toward the total purchase price.
For puppies with undocked tails (if permitted), please see our tails and dewclaws policy regarding deposit requirements and timelines. The remaining balance is due when you take ownership of your puppy.
~ Outland Aussies reserve the right to take "First Pick" from any of our litters ~
GOTCHA DAY
Your new puppy will be ready to go to their forever home at 8 weeks of age.
HEALTH
Puppies will be given all necessary age-based vaccinations and de-worming’s before going to their new home. You need to make a veterinarian appointment within 3 days of receiving your puppy. You are expected to follow through with all other necessary shots, de-worming’s, and veterinarian visits with your puppy. These first few months are the most important as they are susceptible to so many things and need you to be their everything.
Heartworm prevention medicine is strongly recommended around the age of 8 – 10 weeks of age. This not only will prevent Heartworm infections, but is used to control typical worms and flea life cycles. During your Vet visit, casually remind or simply ask your Vet about the sensitivities Australian Shepherds have to some medications, including Heartworm meds. Tick & Flea medication is also recommended and you should discuss what options you have, as there as so many products on the market that are ever changing. These pills/treats do add up in cost, but don’t go cheap. You have made an investment of your money and your heart to your Australian Shepherd puppy, make sure you invest in keeping her/him safe and healthy.
We do genetic testing on our adult Furry Babies to ensure that we are improving the breed’s genetics and not duplicating or risking genetic imperfections.
TAILS AND DEWCLAWS
According to AKC breed standards, Australian Shepherds traditionally have docked tails. While we are open to leaving tails undocked in some cases, this will only be considered under specific circumstances. If we agree to leave a puppy’s tail undocked, the full purchase price must be paid by the time the puppy is 3 days old. Please note that if you change your mind or are unable to take the puppy, all payments will be forfeited. This policy is non-negotiable.
