Application for prospective puppy buyers
   
 

Thank you for inquiring about a puppy from CHESAPEAKE Australian Shepherds. We are dedicated Aussie lovers who participate in a variety of dog related activities. We breed to produce a quality Aussie that is intelligent, loyal, structurally sound and versatile. This Application helps us ensure a good match between prospective owners and our puppies. Each and every puppy is home raised and receives tender loving care, play time, and attention. Even with attention, puppies going to a new home are not a trained, finished product…they are puppies! We provide new puppy owners with pre-school material geared to the Aussie and expect new owners to finish the job we have started with both informal and formal training.

We like to keep in touch with puppy owners to follow the dogs’ development. We also are planning reunions now and then. We are into herding activities and are organizing a herding instinct test with a trainer in our area for our puppy buyers.

We’re always available to help you with questions or just about anything else! This is a remarkable breed we love and cherish. Please complete the application and click on the “Submit” button at the bottom of the form when done. If your web browser does not support forms, please send us an e-mail and paste your responses in.

He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog.
You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours,
faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe
it to him to be worthy of such devotion." -- Unknown

Occasionally we have a pup of outstanding quality for which we would like to
retain breeding rights in the case of a female for up to two litters.  The dog would
be held in CO-ownership until the obligation would be fulfilled at which time we
would sign off of the CO-ownership.  In the case of a male dog, would you be willing to allow us a set amount of stud services to be agreed upon at the time of purchase.

Would you be interested in a situation such as this?
