Breeding the next Generation...
What is an Australian
Shepherd ?
The Australian Shepherd (Aussies) is a breed that
has come of age in America. Original breeding lines trace back to Spanish Basque Shepherd
dogs imported to the west coast of America from Australia with the Merino sheep breed at the
turn of the 19th century. The purebred status of the breed began in 1957 with the foundation
of ASCA (Australian Shepherd Club of America).
ASCA has been the main breed registry for the Australian Shepherd since that
time, although Aussies may now be registered with the CKC and AKC as well. The Australian
Shepherd was bred to be an all-round stock dog, capable of working many kinds of livestock.
Stock dogs need to be highly intelligent with quick reflexes, not to mention high driving and
courageous. These high powered lines are not for everyone and do not always adapt well to the
confinements and schedule of the nonfarm family. If you are looking for an intelligent, energetic
dog who can exist in a rural or urban home environment then talk to us at TrailBarrons Australian Shepherds.
What are our goals at TrailBarrons .
We are a relatively new kennel in the Aussie world yet we intend to be active and responsible breeders of Australian Shepherds. All our breeding stock are regularly checked for major hip and eye disorders and all puppies will be fully guaranteed.
Our own dogs are active in obedience, agility and flyball and we are looking for versatility
in ability and temperament in our dogs, and their offspring. If you are looking for an active,
intelligent family dog that is great with children, and you have the time and energy to devote to
proper training, then one of our Aussies may be for you. All puppies are dual registered through
the Canadian CKC and the American ASCA.
Owning and operating your Aussie
All our puppies are all sold on nonbreeding contracts.
If you are interested in potentially breeding your Aussie then we will help to the best of our ability to properly train and evaluate your dog. If your dog
has potential as breeding stock then its status may be changed by joint consent at two years of
age. If you are interested in an active and intelligent pet, with no interest in breeding, then we will
rebate part of your purchase price on spaying or neutering your dog.
We strongly recommend you take puppy and basic obedience classes with your dog. It will
benefit both of you, and allow you to establish the proper relationship with your Aussie. Should
training or behavioral questions arise we are only a phone call away, and happy to hear from you.
We encourage you to also consider participating in other activities with your dog such as agility,
fly-ball or Frisbee. Aussies love to exercise their minds and their bodies, it is what they were bred
for........
