I'm Judith L., the breeder behind Spunky Farms Aussies located in Saginaw, MI. All our Aussies are AKC registered, and they are also obedience trained, therapy dog trained, OFA certified for their hips, elbows, and eyes. They also get a full genetic panel done on all of our Aussies. We're a small hobby breeding project. We love these dogs so much and know you will too.

Getting a puppy from Judith

Judith 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 $200 non-refundable deposit and between $1,000 - $1,300 final payment, before taxes & fees.

“Deposits are non-refundable, this is because we have taken a puppy off the market and held it for you, Which means that there were other people interested in that puppy that have had to move on. They thought the puppy was no longer available.”

Contract & health guarantee

Judith 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 Judith 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 Judith directly.
