Puppy Information
Although producing pet puppies is not our ultimate goal, the quality of pets we do produce is very important to
us. Finding quality, life-long homes for our wonderful Aussies is given highest priority. We work very hard to
maintain good interactions with our pet puppy purchasers. We have enjoyed getting to know many of the people
who have taken our puppies into their homes over the years. We are always available to help answer questions.
Our commitment to our puppies is life-long; any puppy born at Pur-Plesur ALWAYS has a home here.
Each litter is carefully planned in the hope of improving on the quality of the parents. We show in conformation
so each litter has been bred with the intentions of producing new show prospects for our program. Because we
plan to keep at least one puppy from each litter, we very carefully consider all health, and temperament issues
as well as structure and breed type prior to each breeding. Show prospect puppies are ALWAYS chosen first
and take priority over the choosing of pet puppies. This is in part due to the particular requirements needed for
a top show prospect. Show prospect puppies are ONLY placed in homes where the owner is committed to
competing with them or they stay here at Pur-Plesur.
We take names on a waiting list but only when we have a litter planned or on the ground. We select names from
the waiting list on the basis of quality of life offered to the puppy not first come first served. Puppies are sold
only to qualified homes. Puppies and homes are matched, taking into consideration the home environment and
the temperament of each individual puppy.
Puppies are available only after 8 - 10 weeks of age. Between the ages of 8 - 10 weeks, we rate each puppy as
"show potential" or "pet quality". Pet and show potential puppies are equal in terms of health and
temperament. Pet puppies do not compare in our opinion, to the breed standard as favorably as do the show
potential puppies. We do not sell dogs that would be used for just “breeding stock”.
Our pet puppies are $600 ($100 non-refundable deposit) on a spay/neuter contract. My puppies are born and
raised in our home (no kennel dogs here). You will receive with your puppy a full puppy pack photocopies of all
the parents registries, health clearances, title certificates, pedigree, puppies shot records, training information,
our guidance for the life of your puppy, and more. (The puppy's papers will be sent after spay or neuter.)
So, you have decided to buy your first show puppy, which we will refer to as a prospect. Why a prospect you
ask? Well, no breeder can guarantee that any particular puppy will retain the beautiful features that you see at
that particular moment when he/she is chosen. What the breeder can tell you is how the line develops and how
they hope your prospect will turn out.
Our show prospect puppies are $1200 ($100 non-refundable deposit) on a show/breeding contract. I retain co-
ownership of the puppy till all health clearances are done, and the dog is titled. This also gives me time to get to
know the person that has one of my intact dogs better. Only male show prospects will be placed in novice show
homes.

What you need to do first if you’re a novice show home:
- Join a local kennel club. Most offer classes you will need to help train your puppy.
- Attend some dog shows. Take a chair, a hat, and a drink, and sit near the ring side and observe.
- Talk to as many people as possible (hint: It’s best not to talk to people as they are preparing their dogs
for showing as their minds are keenly focused on the task ahead) - Read books on how to show your dog.
- Visit web sites and join email groups – in essence you need to network yourself as well as possible,
even before you get your first dog. You can do an amazing amount of research through the internet
which will cost you nothing more than your time and internet access.
