About Benny

Benny is a sweet, happy go lucky dog who loves cuddles, playing, tug of rope, and pigs ears. He is fantastic with kids, cats and other dogs. He is very well trained. He is house broken using the bell system. Responds well to sit, stay, come, heel and no. He is crate trained and very food driven. Benny is a wonderful companion but does struggle with anxiety if he doesn’t have another dog or continual human companionship. We have another dog, Layla who is a Medium Size Australian Shepard puppy (Listed in the photo of both dogs in the crate) who is about 5 months that we adopted as a companion for Benny and they respond well together. We would like to rehome them together. Layla is house trained as well, sleeps in the same crate as Benny, listens to sit, stay, come and no as well and is food driven. She is still a puppy so we have lots of toys and items for her to chew on. We love them both, but can’t keep them as life is too full right now and ultimately we don’t have the capacity for animals.
Benny’s mom and dad are both Australian Shepards and his birthday is 2/15/25. He has not been fixed as we were hoping to eventually breed him with Layla.
Layla’s Mom was Medium Size Australian Shepard with the red tri color and dad was full size with the black tri color. She has paper work that you can register. She is too young to fix but we were hoping to breed her with Benny when she was 2 years old.

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.
