Often people are swayed by the initial cost of a puppy. Someone may question why I may charge more than someone else. Anyone can breed two dogs. Find any two dogs and breed them.
First off I spend countless hours finding the perfect dogs. I buy quality bred dogs. Who's parents meet the breeds standard confirmation, are health tested, have great temperaments, they're purebred and papered.
Once they are in my care they continue to get the utmost care. High quality food, the best vet care I can find. They're treated as one of our family members.
It's time consuming. It's costly. Vet bills. Food bills. The time I put in caring for the momma while pregnant, while she is giving birth. Someone is with them at all times for the first week.
I work with them everyday. So that when you bring your pup home s/he will be well on it's way to being a social, well adjusted, healthy pet.
I spend time clipping nails, socializing, cleaning and playing with my puppies.
I will start getting them house trained and crate trained.
Your puppy will come home with some high quality kibble, treats, toys and a blanket with the smell of their mom and littermates for comfort.
You'll get a USB drive with all photos and videos of your pup that I've taken, I'll also include your contract and information on Australian Shepherds on the USB drive. I will add in some other fun surprises as well.
Your puppy will be dewormed at 2, 4, 6 and 8 weeks, s/he will receive their first set of puppy vaccinations at 8 weeks as well as a complete veterinarian check up and health certificate.
Your puppy will be microchipped. AStella Mia puppy will never end up in a shelter. A Stella Mia puppy always has a home here if you can no longer care for them.
My dogs are tested for all genetic diseases, and X-rayed for sound hips and knees.
This ensures that you puppy will not have any genetic diseases now or in the future. I guarantee that. If your dog should develop any, you will be given a replacement puppy from my next litter.
You will receive breeder support. Any questions you have, if I don't know the answer I will help you find it.
I will have a private Facebook group for owners of a Stella Mia pup, this way everyone can see how siblings are as well.
I will keep in touch with each and every puppy family.
Your puppy can be ASDR registered.
In short, could you find a puppy cheaper? Of course.
Would that puppy cost you more down the road in vet fees etc than my puppy? Quite possibly.
Do I believe my health guaranteed, socialized, incredibly beautiful puppies are worth their cost? Yes, and worth so much more!
