Joule & Danny's 2005 Litter "Pickel"
Each day our puppies are individually played with, handled, socialized,
crate trained and potty trained. Stimulating their mind at a young age
helps ensure our puppies grow up to be very well rounded adults.
Starting at 6 weeks old we spend time each day documenting each pup's
development.
Dylan is very pretty and would make a nice
conformation prospect. Dylan also takes after the typical Australian
show line dogs, easy going, not hyper, easy to live with, calm and
sweet. She'll be easy to live with since she's not demanding nor hyper.
She is not a pushy dog for affection, she'll do great in a home with
multiple dogs. She also is not dominant with other dogs. Dylan will come
up and sit next to you and want to be petted, but does not crawl in your
lap. I've seen her tugging on hanging things, so she has some
drive but she's not obsessed with playing.
Our pups are Temperament tested at 6 weeks as recommended by the
authorities by a professional dog trainer. Using the results ensures you
pick a pup with the right temperament for you.
