We have these 2 gals available for our Guardian Program-read below if interested.
Lira-red merle
Aurora-Blue merle (lighter colored) Both gals are super friendly, social and extremely loving with everyone they meet. Both medium drive and listen very well!
Our Guardianship Program was designed to keep our program with diverse genetics to choose from, but more importantly to benefit our dogs' environment and well-being. Aislin Fields is the name of our farm-we are not a kennel. All of litters are raised in our home around our family. We want to keep it that way, and we also want to continue to raise and breed the ideal Australian Shepherd.
If one chooses to participate, they will be able to adopt a superior breed type at NO charge. Once neutered/spayed, I release all papers to you. I retire my Australian Shepherds around 5-years-old if not earlier on some. You are responsible for spay/neuter cost when time comes.
Your responsible for paying all vet care and using the recommended heartworm, flea/tick and vaccine protocol we use for breeding dogs. No exceptions to this regardless of what your vet recommends. We use only Interceptor or Heartguard for heartworm and Nexguard for flea/tick and we use sparingly giving them breaks on certain months.
We vaccinate for Distemper, Parvo, Lepto and Rabies. You must also follow our guideline on feeding certain foods only as we have seen a lot of foods throw our girls heat cycles off.
A lot goes into our pairings and litters. We value temperament, structure, and genetics equally. All have to be present in order for us to breed. No dog is perfect structurally and we do our best to compliment the dams flaws with the strengths in her mate. We hope this produces a better Australian Shepherd puppy and close to the ideal type. That being said, it is beneficial to have more than one male to diversify genetics. Although keeping males together especially when females are in heat can be problematic.
For Males in Guardian Homes:
How it works: If I choose to use a male for breeding, I will notify you when the dam goes into heat. Ovulation usually begins 10-14 days later. Once notified, you would bring the dog to me to stay here for 3-7 days to have a successful chance of breeding. He then would be returned to you. On average, this would happen 3-4 times per year. If you are very local, you are welcome to wait and he can be returned that day and brought back. If not, he can stay here. The other major benefit is that my males live happy, relaxed lives with families that can give way more attention then I ever could with multiples. They are also much calmer as there are no females in heat constantly around or other competitive males. We want this to be successful for everyone involved so we also try and match everyone up correctly. As dog trainers and breeders, we have vast experience with this.
If you are interested in our guardian program please contact me directly to discuss.
Females:
For the Moms this works a little different. When they go into heat, you would notify me and then we would bring them back to my house for a week for breeding--usually at week 2 of heat. Once bred they can remain with you for most the pregnancy. They would return to me a week prior to their due date to settle and would stay here for a total of 7 weeks to birth and raise their puppies. This happens once a year from the age of 2-5 years.
Please contact me directly if you are interested in our guardian home. We do require that you reside somewhat local to keep things simple.
Please start with application and then contact me directly for availability on guardian dogs.
We do offer boarding for our guardian homes for $50 per day but we cannot guarantee this as if we have current puppies or another dog boarding we cannot accept a lot of dogs at once as we are not a kennel. So either call us in advance to see availability and/or have a pet sitter you trust. Some kennels/daycares do not allow intact dogs boarding so make note of that.
