KOYNES AUSTRALIAN SHEPHERDS
For us, breeding Australian Shepherds is a love, not an income.
Our dogs are our family members who live in the house with us and are never kenneled. When we have a litter, it is because we truly love the breed and want others to have the experience of loving an Aussie! We put a lot of time and love into our dogs and puppies with the intention of producing healthy, social and well adjusted family members. Our dogs are DNA tested and hips are certified prior to making the decision to breed them.
IS AN AUSSIE RIGHT FOR YOU?
Ask yourself what you want a dog to do for you and how much time you will have to give to it? If all you want is a companion to sit with you in the evening when you get home from work, it shouldn't be an Aussie as a low energy Aussie is not a low energy dog. Aussie's are very loyal and just want to be with you, no matter what you are doing, so you should plan on giving your dog/puppy lots of your time. Combine their energy with a big brain, and you will have to be on your toes to stay ahead of your Aussie! Intelligent dogs need an outlet for their intelligence as well as their energy. If your life is hectic and no one is home much, you might not want an Aussie! If they get bored, they will find things to amuse themselves and you might not like what they find! On the other hand, if you want a companion in whatever you do, this might be the dog for you. Aussie's want a "job" whether that be keeping you company while you jog or run errands, watching the children, working livestock, or running agility. No job is too small! Challenge them and you will be rewarded! Ignore them and no one will be happy! An Aussie who is well socialized as a puppy and then given some basic obedience training as they grow, should become a go anywhere, do anything dog.

Puppies go home microchipped
All puppies are microchipped when they go home. You will have the assurance that if your Aussie gets lost, they will have the best chance of getting back home to you!
Puppies get a huge amount of our attention from the moment they are born. We cuddle them, talk to them, and teach them that a human's touch is a wonderful thing. They too get to go places with us, so that strangers and strange places are not likely to make them react out of fear. We also expose them to cats and other dogs in an effort to make them more social. We believe that all of this will produce a well adjusted, loving, and devoted companion for whomever they find as their forever home.
We try to let our puppies "choose" their person and if you ever have the good fortune to be "chosen" by an Aussie, you will understand what we mean! It is a very strong bond that lasts for life! Because of this, we prefer not to sell our puppies sight unseen and will not sell a puppy based only on their color, gender or color of eyes. We also reserve the right not to sell you a puppy if we (or the puppy) feel that it would not be a good match. The wrong combination of their personality with your lifestyle will be bad for you and your puppy! When we ask you questions, your honest answers will help make sure that the puppy you get, is the best fit possible!!
