Finally, an update!  We are rocking, rolling, and offering a beautiful bunch of babies this season.  By inspiration of my youngest son, we proudly introduce to you the "Nutty Litter"

————-

The secret to great pet breeding starts before puppies are even born.  We have traveled the country looking for Aussies to add to our bloodlines with great bones, complementary genetics, and loving temperaments.  The dams and sires we have chosen live inside with us as family members, as do our pups, and receive mindful diets and prenatal supplements.

 
At Discovery Hill, all of our puppies are raised and socialized with my (older) children, a very brave (and zany) housecat, and a diverse “woof pack” of all ages.  If you come, my youngest son, a tween, may try to play salesman with you. 

We use ENS (Early Neurological Stimulation) to develop confidence with exposure to common household noises and activities.  At Week 4, the puppies move from their whelping pens to a veritable puppy palace, complete with stepping stones, balancing beams, and Avidog toys (we use their jungle-gym) for mental and physical stimulation.  The fun is designed to help build early exposure to agility training, and every so often the pups get to play in a controlled environment with water.  

​​

We begin crate and potty training before they go home.  We also start introductions to public places after first vaccinations and just in time for hand-off, where the socialization window continues with their new family through the age of approximately 6 months old.
