I'm Bret C., the breeder behind Cowin Premier Aussies located in Ellington, MO. We decided to start breeding to share the best possible puppies with excellent personalities, temperament, and most of all health! We started breeding with the simple mission to breed the very best dogs that we can, to raise them with love, and to find them the perfect future homes.
These dogs are already reserved or have gone home.

Bret has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready, reach out to ask about the puppies or anything else on your mind. You’ll get to know each other through messaging, phone, or video and pay securely, all on Good Dog.
After buyers complete the application and screening process, Bret partners with them to find the best puppy match.
“We want to ensure that each puppy is given to a family that they fully belong with. Personality of each puppy will be assessed close to the time they are ready to go to new homes and that description will be available for buyers to better understand what they're signing up to love forever. ”

“The price includes a puppy that has been vet checked, vaccinated, and happily socialized in our home with my kids and our other dogs. Deposits are utilized to secure your puppy and hold it until it is ready to be picked up.”
Bret may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase. If Bret offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don't hesitate to reach out to Bret directly.
When you pay and communicate on Good Dog, you’re covered by Payment Protection.
