Frequently Asked Questions

Before you begin your search for the perfect puppy, research the breed and gather knowledge on training a young puppy so you can make an informed decision on whether you have adequate time to devote to a new companion. Please be aware of the commitment this breed requires. 

Contact me! Call, text, email, Facebook messenger me..  just reach out and start asking questions. Be prepared for me to ask you a few questions about where the puppy would be living, etc.  

Yes,  a deposit can be made to hold a puppy until he or she is ready for their new family after 8 weeks of age.  Deposit price to reserve a puppy is $600.00 and is non refundable, but is transferable to another puppy, or a future litter. 

Yes, all prospective Aussie parents at Wyldrose are health tested and you can see a copy of their results on the Our Aussies pages. I do everything possible to ensure I’m producing the healthiest puppies possible.  

Yes, we have a deworming and vaccination protocol that involves worming the puppies every 2 weeks until they head home. First puppy vaccine is given at 7 weeks of age, then they need to be scheduled every 3-4 weeks until the series is completed. Rabies vaccination is done after 12 weeks of age. 

The breed standard calls for a docked tail, so yes, every puppy will have their tail and dewclaws removed after they’re born. Tails are to show standard, no nubs. 

Our kids are all young adults now, so our puppies and adult Aussies see younger kids when our nieces and nephews or friends with younger kids come to visit and of course they play with the puppies when they do visit. 

We live on an active horse ranch and our Aussie puppies are socialized to barn kitties, other Aussies, our pet goat and mini mare as well as desensitized to all the sights and sounds of Quarter Horses and barn life from tractors to equipment trailers and not to mention our busy household atmosphere. 

Your puppy was used to eating with littermates in one large feed pan, so they may not be as excited to eat now that the competition is gone. Definitely keep full fat plain yogurt or cottage cheese on hand to mix with their food and begin with about 3/4 cup dry chow, morning and night. If they eat that amount quickly then increase the amount to 1 full cup, then pick their food bowl up. This way you can control potty times easier, instead of leaving food down at all times which makes them more frequent.

First of all - Crate Train your puppy! They are already acclimated to a crate and used to being confined while indoors so definitely set up an x-pen with a crate (and a piddle pad on the floor for accidents) and take him/her outside - Consistently. As soon as they wake up, pick them up and carry outside to their potty area. After eating or drinking or napping, back outside to the potty area. Every hour for the first week be consistent about taking them outside to the same area, try to help them have no accidents and they will learn quickly. The puppies we raise are already partially to mostly house trained when they come to you. They will not soil their indoors puppy area. See pics below to see how we raise our pups. 

Yes and Yes! Wyldrose Aussie babies are microchipped at their 7 week old health check at our vet clinic. While our adult dogs are duel registered with AKC & ASDR, I only register my litters with the AKC and the prices of my puppies includes registration so you don’t have to do that part. Their Limited (unless otherwise discussed) AKC registration certificate will be mailed to you directly from the AKC as well as microchip information linked to your new puppy’s registration. I will need a registered name of your choosing. Be aware that “WYLDROSE” will be at the beginning of the puppy’s name.
