UNCONDITIONALLY AUSSIES
Unconditionally Aussies have owned and raised Australian Shepherds over the years to provide loyal companions, therapy dogs, agility dogs or to be taken in whatever direction the new owner wishes
We love Australian Shepherds and find it very rewarding to raise them as they are very intelligent and loyal companions.
The Australian Shepherd, commonly called the "aussie", is a medium-sized breed of dog that was, despite its name, was developed on ranches in the United States during the 19th century. Even though they are called Australian Shepherds they have no association Australia despite the name.
This is not a breed of dog for everyone as you must be willing and able to put in the time and training required to make a great companion. The first and most important item is to socialize, socialize, socialize.
We breed both registered and non-registered aussies.
we do not dock tails nor remove dew claws see dog articles
