I'm Melissa U., the breeder behind BAR A AUSSIES located in Nevada, TX. Puppies are well socialized and know how to use a doggie door. Health records start with local vet at 3 days and they visit two more times before you will take them home. Docked tails, dew claws removed, first shots, dewormer, and health checks are all a part of the Bar A program.
