Things that make me say, "Hmmm....."

It makes me so sad to see supposedly "reputable" breeders treating dogs as commodities. There is more to being reputable than health testing and showing and "checking off the boxes". When I see breeders rehoming adult dogs who aren't even potty trained this tells me a lot about their programs. These dogs are NOT living inside as family members. These dogs are living outdoors/in kennel runs and not being treated the way a pet should be. Aussies/MAS should not live outdoors separate from their humans. These aren't hunting hounds or bite sport dogs or dogs prone to aggression. These are companion herders and they LOVE their people. If you can't keep all your dogs inside, you have too many dogs and you're putting your "program" before the needs of the dogs. Find some guardian/co own homes and do better.
