Breeding is a serious endeavour and litters at MountainAsh are bred occasionally and selectively. We are dedicated to producing beautiful, healthy, well-adjusted Australian Shepherds for active companionship and all levels of competition. Each litter is a special event and a tremendous amount of care and expertise go into the raising of MountainAsh Australian Shepherds. Our breeding program takes into consideration many factors, including optimum health, temperament, structure, and versatility. Breeding dogs are conformation Champions with health clearances. Litters at MountainAsh are registered with the Canadian Kennel Club (CKC) and Australian Shepherd Club of America (ASCA), and are eligible for registration with the American Kennel Club. An adolescent puppy or adult dog with advanced training and socialization may be available on occasion.

Tux is a handsome 4 month old black tri dog from our Zeek/Roxy litter whelped on October 2, 2018. We originally kept both male puppies (Gatsby/Tux) from the litter in order to further evaluate them as future show/breeding prospects. Although we love many qualities in both boys we don't have room to keep both of them. We have decided to place Tux in an active companion or performance home on contract with neuter obligation (no earlier than 15 months old).

Tux is happy, biddable, eager to please, with great toy/food drive, and moderate/high energy level. He can often be a confident independent thinker and enjoys exploring. He is calm and comfortable around other people and dogs but not overly pushy to interact with them. He has received early neurological stimulation and exposed to a sound conditioning/puppy habituation CD. While in our care he has been exposed to a variety of sights, sounds, textures, environments, people and other animals. He is accustom to being handled, bathed, groomed and having his nails trimmed with a dremel tool regularly. Tux been raised on a raw diet, received his health certificates, vaccinations appropriate for his age, microchip and OFA eye examination. He is crate trained, almost fully house trained, well socialization and started on foundation obedience training.

With moderate/high energy and drive Tux will be wonderful companion to an active and experienced home. Someone looking for their next heart dog with an interest in obedience, rally-o, agility and/or outdoor activities. He has the potential to excel in all areas of competition. Tux is ready to join his forever home, and continue his socialization and obedience training.

Young puppy pictures and video of Tux and his littermates can be seen on our Zeek/Roxy litter page.
Serious inquiries welcome.

We take great care in placing our Australian Shepherds in forever homes with discerning and responsible individuals. Our puppies are evaluated from day one and placed based on a wide variety of things including temperament, natural instinct, and suitability.  Although our puppies are all of the same breed they are individuals with unique personalities. If you seek a companion your top two concerns should be health and temperament. A well bred, well raised puppy is so much more than coat or eye colour. Because puppies are not custom ordered, we cannot guarantee that a particular litter will have puppies of a specific colour or sex. For this reason, reservations are not accepted based on colour.

MountainAsh Australian Shepherds are raised in our home and in a family setting. We are proud to raise our Australian Shepherds naturally with the understanding that conventional methods are sometimes necessary. We strongly believe that naturally rearing promotes health and longevity. Puppies receive early neurological stimulation, and lots of love and socialization as they mature. Our puppies are exposed to a variety of sights, sounds, animals and other stimuli. Puppies are raised on a holistic raw diet, receive a veterinary health check, fecal exams (worming if required), age appropriate vaccination, microchip, and eye examination by a licensed veterinary ophthalmologist. Our puppies are regularly handled, bathed, groomed and have their nails trimmed with a Dremel tool. Puppies are also well started on their crate and house training before going to their forever homes. This ensures our puppies have the best possible start in life, and will set them up to thrive as adult dogs.
