Q. & A. with Ashley

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Soon after I found the breed, I purchased another. They were the best dogs I had ever been around. Everyone I encountered wanted to know what they were and could they get one. It soon became clear I use my equine knowledge to start raising these amazing little dogs to bring others the joy I had found in them!

Price

Puppy prices include a $500 non-refundable deposit and between $700 - $3,000 final payment, before taxes & fees.
Pay over time with Klarna.

“Placing a deposit on a puppy holds that puppy in your name until it is 8 weeks old. Deposits are nonrefundable in most cases. Deposits are Non-Refundable in most cases. When we mark a puppy as yours with a deposit no one else is allowed to see that pup and it is held for you. If you cannot finish paying for a puppy by the time it is 8 weeks old and ready to go home your deposit will be forefited. Should something happen to the puppy while still in our care your deposit will be refunded or can be transferred to another puppy.”

    Ashley was wonderful to work with especially being in another state. She works with a flight nanny who brings them.

    Ashley was so wonderful to work with during the process of obtaining my new girl, sweet Letty. Ashley made it easy and was very quick to respond to my questions. She truly cares about her animals and I received a quality mini Aussie who is very well trained and behaved. I would highly recommend to work with Ashley if you are looking to add a special addition to your family.

    Ashley was amazing! We were looking at a couple of different mini Aussie puppies through Good Dog & quickly realized that there are good breeders…and then there are excellent breeders. Ashley was very prompt in her communication - questions, concerns, updates and she included lots of photos of our little pup while we were coordinating delivery. (Plus, her dogs made the cutest, sweetest, little cuddle muffin and we are just in love!) Highly recommend working with Best Little Aussies!
