Charming Chandler Arizona Australian Shepherds

We aren't breeding Aussies anymore but if you are looking for Aussiedoodles I'm your girl! Health tested. Mom has two AKC performance titles and passed a very tough therapy exam but hasn't started volunteering because of Covid. If these puppies are 1/2 as sweet and eager to please as mom, they will be amazing dogs!

We bred Zoey to a poodle for this litter. I have one little guy left. He will be ready to go home on January 8th. Let me know by PM if you are interested.

We are going a different direction with our breeding program. There are a couple of reasons for this but I have decided to breed Aussie Doodles. Zoey was just bred to a beautiful standard poodle last week.

We won't be breeding Australian Shepherds for a long while- we might be producing a litter of Aussiedoodles, but for those who are looking for an Aussie may I suggest my friend from https://www.facebook.com/TopalviAustralianShepherds/ ?
She just had two litters! I really like her stud Joker and Tonya and I have become friends. Her puppies look beautiful!

Tonya and Paul Alvitre....proud breeders of beautiful, intelligent, unique, fun, energetic, protective, loving, loyal, sporty, ranch minded social Australian Shepherds.

For everyone that is following my page, especially if you are waiting for a puppy. We decided not to breed Zoey this heat. It will most likely be 10 months or longer until we have another litter of puppies. And even then, we might be taking a new direction with our breeding program. If you are actively looking for a puppy I have met a few breeders in the area who I could refer you to.

The breeder that we got Zoey from has a few puppies that are just too cute! If you are in Texas, these are Zoey's nieces. I'm a little partial to the lines. https://m.facebook.com/profile.php?id=365188880326081&ref=content_filter

I have been exploring my options with Studs. I really like Hatch Aussie's stud Bo- but since it didn't work out with their "romantic getaway" I thought I would explore my options. It proved harder than I thought. In Texas there were lots of well bred Aussies that were health tested, beautiful dogs, bred to the standard with correct ear set and great personalities. Here I am running into lots more "backyard" breeders and fewer health tested, registered dogs. Or, I've run into dogs bred specifically for working. I really respect people who work their Aussies and I think we need to keep that very much alive but my goal in breeding is to breed dogs with a bit less drive and herding instinct. One that will fit better in a family. There seems to be a market for well bred adaptable dogs here in the East Valley but it is harder to find a quality stud. I had one stud owner offer me their AKC Australian Shepherd stud only to find out that he was not health tested, didn't have breeding rights, and he wasn't even an Aussie- but a miniature american shepherd. Yup, that is not going to work for my goals.
It has been a lot of work, but fortunately, I do have three GREAT options. All three are proven and have had BEAUTIFUL puppies. All three have the personality that I am looking for. All three are expensive and a drive but seem really worth it. It will be hard to decide but I am leaning toward one. But, hopefully I won't step on any toes because all three are great dogs and if things don't work out with this guy I would feel privileged to use either of the other two. Zoey should be going into heat within the next 2 months so I'll keep the page posted on any developments. We are beyond excited for the work and fun of puppies!

We have had such a fun summer. We brought the dogs to my parents cabin up in the pines 2x. It is so fabulous to get out of the heat! Zoey did so great. The property backs a national forest. There are no fences. Zoey is always so great at staying close to us that we left her leash free all weekend. She ran from person to person all week and loved the cool. She loved getting her legs wet but isn't a huge fan of swimming. And While she did great in the canoe she was excited to get out when we pulled up to the bank. Perhaps she needs a little more experience to be truely comfortable on the water.

Happy 4th of July!

Zoey is working on her intermediate trick title, hiking, and enjoying this cooler spell here. We don't expect another heat until the end of summer/beginning of fall. We are looking forward to puppies but also enjoying the freedom of no babies to watch.

I know I don't have a litter available and some of you are looking. This is far for my new AZ friends but I couldn't say enough good things about Lisa. This little guy is Zoey's nephew. I love his even blaze that is not too wide and not too narrow. He's a good looking boy!

When Zoey came home from the Hatch's she acted a little off. She threw up 2x and started gaining weight- which we were encouraging because she got so darn skinny last litter. But as the pregnancy progressed we didn't see more signs. Her tummy hair hadn't thinned and although she gained some weight it wasnt enough, and wasn't in her belly like we would expect. We took her into the vet to get her checked out today and the vet confirmed our suspicions. She's not pregnant. We are so disappointed, but her next heat should come in a few months and we will try again then.
