Frequently Asked Questions
-
Visit our Available Puppies page to see puppies that are currently available, or check out our Upcoming Litters to see litters that are planned to come soon! If you see a puppy or litter that you like, fill out the Purchase or Waitlist form found on the respective page.
After your form is received, we will contact you by text to learn a little bit more about you and organize payment of the deposit or balance of the puppy you select. Deposits go towards the full balance of the puppy and are $200 to join the waitlist of a litter, or $500 to reserve an available puppy. All deposits are non-refundable.
The full amount due must be paid by the time the puppy is eight weeks of age prior to or at the time of pickup, unless otherwise agreed upon with the breeder. If the remaining balance is not paid by week eight, the puppy will be put up for sale again and your deposit will be forfeited.

The total cost of a puppy from Aloe Aussies ranges between $1,000 and $2,500. The cost is based on parents, registration, and availability of coats, genders, etc.
A non-refundable deposit of $500 is required to reserve any available puppy if it is not yet ready to go home with you (i.e. before 8 weeks old). This deposit goes towards the total cost of the puppy.
The price listed on a puppy is for pet homes and limited registration only.
When considering the cost, please remember: Raising quality puppies is more expensive than most people might imagine. Besides the obvious cost of quality food, vitamins, regular worming, flea control, grooming and vaccinations for our parent dogs, there’s also the cost for the puppies, like registering a litter, docking tails, removing dew claws, toys, cleaning supplies, vaccinations, de-worming, and feeding the litter quality puppy food.
And that’s not even considering the cost of time. Our puppies are raised in the middle of our house, not in a shed outside or a kennel in the backyard. We spend hours upon hours with our puppies daily to ensure they are socialized, clean, and healthy. It's our responsibility to build the best foundation we can before they go home to you, so we take it very seriously!
Regardless of the monetary cost of a puppy, the end results are priceless. We believe responsible buyers will recognize and appreciate the effort, time and love we put into each of our puppies.

Of course! Our dogs all live on property with us, and usually are eager to meet new people. Just let us know ahead of your appointment time if you want to meet the parents so we can be sure they weren’t let out to to play in the mud or water that day!
For the protection of our puppies and their health, we only allow families to visit on pick-up day or during a scheduled visit, and only one family at a time.
We do our best to allow you to meet moms and dads on video calls and share as much information about them with you to find your best match on ourOur Dogs page.

Absolutely! Of course, some puppies may be more shy than others just by nature, but most of our puppies absolutely LOVE people, and as they grew up we have done as much as possible with them from their first moments to ensure they’re ready for anything!
Besides introducing them to a wide variety of environmental items such as textures, household items, smells, noises (fireworks, thunder, loud cars etc), they also meet all ages of children and adults, as well as other dogs, cats, chickens, and more! We also try to get them out for a couple car rides and take them with us to safe travel locations before going to their new homes
-
We put expected adult height and weight projections that we expect every puppy to be as an adult in their individual listing description. This is based on our experience and their parent’s statistics. Of course, this is just an estimate, as size can be influenced by many things as your puppy grows like nutrition, health, activity level, and more.
-
For the safety of our dogs and puppies, we don’t allow visitation unless you have reserved a puppy, and only after the puppy is 6 weeks old. Before then, we make sure to upload tons of pictures and videos of each puppy, and add new ones as they grow. The listing assigned to your puppy will be updated regularly and we can personally send you more updates or the option to facetime with your puppy if you want to see their personality develop as they get older.

Because we rehome our puppies at 8 weeks old, they are too young to be fully vaccinated, so we highly advise you not to take your puppy to public places until all rounds of their shots are completed. But by the time you pick your puppy up, we have started them out the best we can by deworming them at least 4 times (at 2, 4, 6 and 8 weeks old) and they will have been be given their first round of vaccines at 8 weeks old (Canine Spectra 5) to protect them against the main five serious, contagious canine diseases: Distemper, Adenovirus (hepatitis/kennel cough), Parainfluenza, and Parvovirus. If a puppy is still with us beyond 8 weeks old, they may receive other rounds of shots as well.
The next vaccines and continued deworming will be your responsibility after bringing your puppy home, meaning they will need another two booster shots before they are fully protected (at 10-12 weeks old and 14-16 weeks old) as well as their first rabies shot. Your veterinarian will advise you on the best schedule for your new pup!

Although Aussies are traditionally herding/working dogs, we do not breed the high-drive bloodlines that those dogs often stem from. Our dogs still excel in those fields when trained to do so, but we breed more for companion dogs. Most of our dogs have a quiet, gentle disposition and do best in family homes. Our dogs make amazing pets and companions, but they still benefit greatly with daily physical and mental stimulation.
-
All of our dogs come with a contract where new owners have to agree that you will not re-sell your dog or leave it at a rescue/shelter. If for any reason you cannot keep your puppy or adult dog, we are more than happy to help you find a new home, or take it back in the case of an emergency. Once an Aloe Aussie, always an Aloe Aussie.

We are crate advocates, meaning we absolutely recommend crate training your puppy. Not because we think dogs belong in a cage, or should spend their lives in one, but there are many benefits to a dog being able to be crated; especially when it comes to bringing a new puppy into your home! Crate time can help a puppy immensely with training, as it helps the puppy regulate it’s emotions, energy levels and even helpful when potty training! It also gives them a safe space to retreat to and feel secure.
Being able to crate your puppy when you leave home also keeps your puppy safer overall, ensuring they can’t get into anything harmful while you’re away. Puppies explore and learn with their mouths, and free roaming puppies may do dangerous things like chewing a loose wire, eating your belongings, or getting into toxic products. Much like a human baby, puppies don’t know better, and will do things that may seriously hurt or kill them. Crating a puppy prevents this risk, and crates can always be phased out over time as your dog ages.
