Meet Gemma!💎
Mom (Reba) is a 12 lb miniature Australian Shepherd.
We rescued Reba when she was pregnant from an old lady who could no longer take care of her.
Gemma gets lots of love daily from children, and as she gets older will experience meeting other animals on our 7 acre hobby farm. 🙃
We start crate and potty training around 4 weeks, so by the time she goes home she will be well on her way to being house broke.
She will be used to several different kinds of terrain, such as hills and steps, also will be dewormed at 2, 4, 6 and 8 weeks and have a vet health check before leaving as well as first shots of the new family chooses.
We do accept a non-refundable deposit of $200 to hold her for you until she's ready to leave.
She can go anytime between December 4th and 8th, but if you want us to hold her for you until Christmas we charge an extra $15 per day past the last pickup day.
Visits are welcome, reach out if you have any other questions!☺️
THE LADY THAT WE RESCUED GEMMA'S MOM FROM HAS NOT BEEN VERY HONEST WITH US, SO WE ARE DOING A BREED DNA TEST AND WE'LL HAVE RESULTS AROUND THE END OF NOVEMBER AND WILL UPDATE THE POST THEN!!
(Test results will show exactly what breed/breeds she is, expected maturity weight etc)
So excited to find out, be sure to check back!🥰

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.
