Puppy Placement Policy
Thank you for your interest in a puppy from Gearhart Aussies. We believe in puppies being reared properly. Litters are born and nurtured in our home. We spend a lot of time, during the first eight weeks, handling and exposing puppies to different stimuli, new experience, and people. Each and every puppy receives a lot of love, playtime and attention. Our puppies are socialized, current on vaccinations, de-wormed and checked for genetic defects before they go to their new homes. We offer health guarantees and references of satisfied puppy purchasers. We take the same care in placing our puppies in pet homes as we do in competition homes. Our pups are versatile, make livable, loyal companions and compete in obedience, conformation, agility and herding.
Please be aware that puppies are not trained, well-mannered, finished products. They are puppies. They will have accidents and they will get into mischief…all a part of being a puppy. We expect new owners to finish the job we have started and help their puppy become a mature, well-mannered Aussie by being responsible for the further development of the puppy’s personality. This is accomplished through structured discipline, training, guidance and most of all love.
Our first consideration is the safety and well-being of our puppies, from the day they are conceived until the day (hopefully long into the future) pass on. Also, we keep in close contact with our puppy buyers; they become part of our extended canine family.
Although we will always keep in mind the color preferences of our puppy buyers, we do not place our pups based solely on color choice. We evaluate the pups from day one, and puppies are placed on a variety of things such as temperament and natural instinct. The selection for breed or show potential and those available for companion/neutured homes are determined by 6.5 weeks of age. Reservations are honored and based upon suitability of each pup to each individual home. We do not accept deposits until puppy placement is confirmed; and the deposit is non-refundable.
