Playtime

Playtime and brain games are very important for puppy. It will help keep their mind stimulated, keep them out of trouble and teach them what items they are and aren't allowed to chew on. The harder a puppy has to think to play with something (like a doggie puzzle), the more worn out they will be. AND we all know a tired puppy = a happy owner!

You will want to get a variety of toys and games for puppy, but don't let them have everything at once. They are like a human child, they can get bored of their toys. So it is smart to have a stash of say 15 exciting items, and every few days rotate 5 out and 5 in. This will keep things exciting, and keep puppy interested. The great thing about Amazon too is, if you get something and puppy is not interested at all, their return policy is AMAZING.

We are a loving and responsible Australian Shepherd, Aussiedoodle, and Poodle breeding program based in Northern California.

Our passion is breeding service, therapy, and companion dogs in LOVING guardian homes, instead of kennels, that typically have a lower drive and energy that is great for the family home.

We do our best to surpass our clients' expectations by fully developing the puppies in our program in every way possible through our unique and thorough puppy curriculum.


Our specialty is matching each family to the very best puppy for their specific needs!  Welcome to our unique program.
