Getting a puppy from Angela
Angela has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready to reach out, feel free to ask any questions about the breed, their program, or specific puppies.
Together, you’ll choose the puppy that’s right for you, stay in touch with regular updates, and plan how to bring your new puppy home.
Price
Puppy prices include a $100 non-refundable deposit and between $400 - $700 final payment, before taxes & fees.
“The price includes registration (ASCA always and usually AKC), health guarantee and contract, initial vaccinations, and dewormings. We request deposits after a litter is born and we send initial information. The deposit reserves your "pick slot." If you are selecting between a couple of puppies, you may wait until they are about 5 weeks to finalize selection to see personalities emerge.”
Contract & health guarantee
Angela 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 Angela 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 Angela directly.

Parent dogs
Willow, mom
Australian Shepherd
About Willow
Willow was the pick female in a litter going back to our lines from a working cattle farm in Wisconsin. Her full littermates are working on their farm in cheese country though and are doing fantastic in stock trials. In personality, Willow has her grandma Schuyler's Pollyanna charm with thankfully just a touch calmer. She serves as toddler babysitters when the overactive, small human visits the grandparents in Arkansas. (Although she gives Angela her painfully obvious "is this really the best approach" looks when the little person decides to join her in the kennel during breakfast. And yes, Willow won that discussion.) She is quick, agile, sharp as a tack, and an easy traveler on the road.
Drax, dad
Australian Shepherd
About Drax
Drax is Grandma's boy and the grandparents main farm helper at this point. He listens to all of us, but he only if Grandma hasn't talked to him first. I've heard some people say he looks intimidating in the picture above so I keep meaning to get another one to balance out his image. He is a fine fellow with a nice mellow temperament. He is an excellent toe warmer on cold winter nights and an easy companion for the long car rides to visit the grandchild in Iowa. At chore time, Drax is a silent worker, which again is what we were looking for, and tends to think longer before he acts.
Ginger, mom
Australian Shepherd
About Ginger
Ginger is a female Australian Shepherd. Carefully selected as a great representative of her breed, Angela decided to make her part of their program. Angela has passed Good Dog’s screening process, which involved a review of their breeding practices, environment, and the mental and physical health of their dogs.

Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)
Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.
DNA Disease Panel, Multiple Drug Sensitivity (MDR1)
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
