PRICE REDUCED by $500!!! ‘Mel’ is a red tricolor female with two blue eyes. She was born with a full length tail that we left in tact. 'Mel' is charting to be 45-55lbs as an adult. She is a higher energy puppy. She is usually the one that lasts the longest during play sessions. She is very playful but with a gentle energy about her. She loves to run and play with toys but somewhat introverted in her interactions with other dogs/animals. Her play style stays generally very calm and quiet. She loves to be cuddled and held while she's sleeping. She seems to have an adventurers spirit and is fairly fearless when introduced to something new. We are a low drive, non-working line Australian Shepherd program. We have been working on and developing the lineages of our program for over a decade to create a lower energy, well bred Aussie that will thrive in an indoor, companion home environment. Our adult dogs are members of our family and registered therapy animals that participate in weekly visits to areas in our community that benefit from volunteer therapy dogs. All breeding dogs used in our program are AKC registered, fully health tested (hips/eyes OFAed and genetic panels pulled and clear) and enjoy daily care and love by our whole family. Our puppies do best in low to moderately active homes and we sell to indoor homes only. Our puppies are raised indoors, in a clean and sanitized environment. They are filled with love and handled daily by ourselves and our 5 children. They receive daily interactions, gentle introductions to new stimuli and are well socialized from the time they are born until they go home to their new families. The puppies are kept on a bi-weekly worming schedule, are kept up to date on all vet care and are microchipped before going home with their families. They see our family veterinarian Dr Beth at less than 3 days old for their initial exams and dewclaw removals. They will see Dr Beth again at 7 weeks old for their first set of puppy shots, microchips, comprehensive exams and health certificates. Puppies are released at 8 weeks old (November 29th 2024) to go home with their families. They are 100% litter and crate trained by this age. They go home also well started on potty training and basic obedience training. On site visitation is now open for families that would like to meet her in person. Families receive weekly photo, video and informational updates - for this litter those are sent on Fridays. We do require a non-refundable deposit of $300 to hold them for you until they are 8 weeks old and ready to be picked up. An application must be filled out and approved before a deposit can be placed. Applications can be found here: https://www.larsonslegacykennels.com/aussie-application
