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 receive 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 performance, working, or show potential and those available for companion/neutered homes are determined by 6.5 weeks of age. Pups available to breeding homes are on a limited basis, with a co-ownership registration until sufficient titles are obtained; and all health testing is completed or the dog is desexed. We do not sell to people whose sole interest is breeding. Reservations are honored and based upon suitability of each pup to each individual home.
We accept deposits when puppy placement is confirmed; and this deposit is non-refundable.
Dogs are a lifetime commitment. We thank you for considering our litters and if you are interested in providing a loving, committed home for a Gearhart pup, please read our Health Guarantee and complete the Puppy Placement Questionnaire. We will be happy to place you on our litter list and keep you informed as to whelping, development and availability.
