If you think you are interested in a puppy from Oceanwood Aussies, let us know. We do not have puppies often! This is not a business, as Oceanwood is a small hobby breeding program fueled by a strong love for the breed and desire to produce puppies to the integrity of the breed standard. I encourage anyone with interest to message us to see potential timelines of any litters being planned. We sometimes will list planned litters at the bottom of this page. You can check here or our public Facebook page for updates.

​

We do interview our potential puppy owners to ensure they are going to a safe and happy home where their mental and physical well being is a priority. Puppies are evaluated at 6 - 8 weeks old for potential show careers. Potential owners will not be allowed to pick their puppies until after this evaluation is completed, and we do stress the importance of the puppy's temperament being an appropriate match to their potential homes.

​

We sometimes will have older puppies available if we had kept back a potential prospect that was to be later placed in a companion only home, but not often. 

​

Registration Variables

Every puppy is sold on limited registration unless otherwise discussed and approved. If you are trying to get a full registration bitch or dog, expect to be paying $2,500 - $4,000+. Pricing depends on circumstance, if the bitch or dog is being used for show and/or under co-ownership, or if full rights and sole ownership is granted. All breeding prospects MUST have acceptable OFA results on both elbows and hips, have full detention and scissor bite, clean genetic panel, CEAR clear and all testing done BEFORE getting cleared to breed to an opposite of the same standards and the appropriate coloration. Once genetic testing etc. is passed, the bitch and/or dog can be signed off for you to receive full rights at that time (dependent on contract & agreement specifications). 

 

No bitch nor dog that does not meet AKC breed standards and health clearances will remain intact per contract - regardless of amount paid. Failure to meet requirements will null and void full registration potential. ANY puppy's registration is done at the sole discretion of my decision, being the breeder. 

​

Prices for our puppies varies depending on litter and will be $2,000 - $2,500 for companion (pet only/no breeding rights). 

​

Deposits are $400.00 and non - refundable, but can be moved to a next litter.

​

Understand that I as the breeder have the right to evaluate my own litter and determine if a puppy is or isn't breeding quality throughout the "puppy - stage" evaluations. If a puppy is marked as companion only quality, said puppy will NOT be allowed to be sold with full rights, no exceptions.

​

Guardian Home

I sometimes offer "guardian home" discounts for pets that I want to keep in my breeding program but want them to have an outside family home - as I am keeping the number of canines in house small and manageable. These guardian home pets are NOT to be spayed or neutered unless they do not meet my breeding requirements (acceptable OFA results, health certifications and panel as of 2 years of age). This gives a family the opportunity to own a high quality puppy at a reduced price, in return allowing me to breed the puppy later on in life. As of now, I have only had 2 females I ever offered this for under contract. The owners stay in close touch with me and are within a 3 hour commute from where I reside, offer frequent updates and pictures, and have signed contracts with myself underneath Ide Performance. Guardian owners will not pay for health testing/breeding fees and will only be responsible for standard pet-owner fees (veterinary fees regarding preventatives, vaccinations, food, basic health care etc.). If a bitch is to be bred under guardian home, said bitch will come back to Ide Performance for the process of getting bred, hormone testing, pregnancy checks via ultrasound, and whelping. The bitch will remain with the guardian owner the majority of the pregnancy and return a week prior to the expected due date. I will be in full responsibility of puppies and insuring the bitch's health during and after parturition and weaning of the litter. Once litter is weaned and after bitch is veterinary checked and insured in good condition, she will be returned to the guardian owner. Guardian owners can visit their bitch at any time while she is with me!

 

We will not accept any deposits, regardless of contract, unless you have gone through the approval process and we have a bitch confirmed bred.

​

EVERY dog, whether adult or puppy, will have our kennel name at the beginning of their registered name. We have worked hard for this name and there will be NO exceptions to changing this stipulation We do have high standards for our puppies! Not every breeder believes in vaccinations, deworming, internal heartworm & parasite prevention, and flea & tick prevention... BUT I DO! Being a veterinary technician since 2014, I do stress the importance in keeping your companion fully updated on the necessary preventatives. 

​

If you are wanting to purchase a puppy and not have any interaction with the breeder after pick up, I am NOT THE BREEDER FOR YOU! I want a relationship with my puppy owners and I encourage owners to reach out to me if anything arises... I do understand that sometimes life gets tough and people get BUSY!

​

I have a Facebook page specifically for my puppy owners to keep up with pictures and have the ability to reach out to one another to see litter mates and other puppies produced from Oceanwood Australian Shepherds called "Oceanwood Aussie Family", as well as my public Facebook page "Ide Performance Horses and Oceanwood Australian Shepherds".

 

You can never post too many pictures and/or videos! Sometimes raising a puppy is a team effort!
