Puppies are part barbet, puli and tri australian shepherd. Barbets are an extremely rare breed. Puli is the ancestor of the barbet and the ancestor of nonshedding hypoallergenic breeds. Australian shepherds shed. When a hypoallergenic dog is breed to an allergenic dog, there is a 25% chance that a puppy (F1) will be hypoallergenic.
Puppy's coat is wavy. Adult coat grows in at four months of age. Adult coat may be wavy or curly. Coat won't be corded because corded is a recessive gene.
Australian shepherd characteristics are light red (apricot not tan) and white, white blaze on head, white muzzle and bigger boned (stocky) than barbet. Majority of purebred aussies have a bobtail (short tail. Her tail is a bobtail.
The puppy will be a medium size dog. The mother is 32 pounds and 18 inches at the shoulder. I don't know the measurements of the standard australian shepherd father but he is medium size.
PICKUP AND LOCAL DELIVERY
You may pick up at my home. On some Sundays or Mondays, I could deliver to Monterey, VA. On Sunday or Monday, I can deliver to White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia which is near the WV/VA state line. Or Lewisburg WV. This "local" delivery is at no charge.
I will not deliver further away. Since I reduced the price to $150, I would be taking a loss. I am not willing to take further losses such as gas and my time.
"Available for local delivery" does not mean free delivery out of state. I have not found a breeder on puppies.com or gooddog.com that offers free out of state delivery.
These breeders do not advertise free local delivery. They do advertise delivery to their local airport to meet buyers who fly in. This delivery may not be free. Breeders won't do "local" delivery unless their puppy is paid in full in advance. Whereas, I am not asking a deposit if you pick up within a week.
$150 is below the price local animal shelters charge for a puppy. Charlottesville-Albemarle SPCA's adoption fee for puppies is $350.

Kanawha Charleston Humane Association charges $350 for puppies.

Frequently Asked Questions
About
Australian Shepherd
Puppies
What are Australian Shepherds known for?
Australian Shepherds are a beautiful breed with merle coats, high energy, and and an obsession with being close to their families. These dogs are wonderful family companions, but be prepared to keep them active and occupied to avoid having a sad, destructive Aussie. Full-grown, they typically weigh 40-65 pounds and stand 18-23 inches tall.
Do Australian Shepherds do well in a busy household?
Australian Shepherds are generally excellent with children of all ages. Australian Shepherds are great companion for kids and other pets, especially if they’re socialized as puppies. These dogs can be happy in warm or cool climates, but they need plenty of space to run and play and should have their primary living space indoors. They're moderate barkers — they'll alert you when something's up but aren't excessive.
Do Australian Shepherds need a lot of physical activity?
Aussies need a lot of high-energy activities and mental stimulation to keep them happy. They’re the perfect exercise buddies, especially for families that like being outdoors. Take your Australian Shepherd for a run, hike, or a long play session in a big backyard to keep their hearts soaring and their minds sharp. Overall, their exercise needs are very high.
Are Australian Shepherds high-maintenance when it comes to grooming?
The Australian Shepherd has a dense undercoat and outer coat with medium to long hair that’s straight or slightly wavy. Aussies’ fur is short and soft on their head and legs, with a thick mane around the neck. These dogs can be black, red, red merle (dark patches on a light background), or blue merle, and some may have white markings or tan points too. Grooming-wise, this breed is low-maintenance.
Do Australian Shepherds need a big yard?
Australian Shepherds are best suited for a home with a yard, though they can adapt to apartment life with enough exercise. These dogs can be happy in warm or cool climates, but they need plenty of space to run and play and should have their primary living space indoors. They are highly trainable and eager to learn.
Puppy Buyer's FAQ
See Full Guide Here
Visit or Video Call the Breeder
Visit in person if possible, or request a live video call to meet the puppy, see its living conditions, and meet the mom. Ask to see where the dogs eat, sleep, and play.
Get a Vet Exam Immediately
Have a vet examine the puppy within two days of bringing it home, even if it seems healthy.
Request Complete Health Records
Ask for vaccination records, deworming history, and vet exam results. For purebreds, ask for parent health clearances.
Get Everything in Writing
Written contract with health guarantees, return/refund policy, and spay/neuter terms. Verbal promises are unenforceable.
Use Secure Payment Methods
Pay with a credit card or another traceable method that offers buyer protection. Avoid wire transfers, crypto, or gift cards, which are difficult to recover.
Verify Breeder Credentials
Check USDA license, state breeder license, breed club memberships, and reviews. Ask for buyer references.
Know What to Look For
A trustworthy breeder welcomes visits, specializes in one or two breeds, prices fairly, and gives you time to decide without pressure.
Know Your State's Laws
Some states have lemon laws; others rely on contract law. Know your rights before you buy.
