General veterinary health exam
30 days free pet insurance through AKC
AKC registration completed
ASCA registration form

Our puppies are priced at $1500 for companion/performance-only spay/neuter homes.
Intact homes for show/breeding program prospects are agreed upon by private treaty on a case-by-case basis. Feel free to contact us to discuss.
Parents of this upcoming litter will be Case and Taiga!
Thanks so much to Dawn at Revelaire Aussies for allowing us the opportunity to use Case!
These puppies will be med-high energy/high drive and will need a job to do! Show/performance homes and active, experienced companion homes are a must!
A Bit About Our Program
At Echolight, we do relationships – not transactions. When you take one of our babies home, we will link arms with you and support you for the rest of that dog's life and beyond. We DO expect to keep in touch over the years and love to hear about milestones as you reach them. We have made many good friends this way and it is one of our favorite parts of being breeders.
We breed for ourselves first, striving to improve and preserve our breeding program with specific goals in mind, rather than to just produce puppies to sell. Each breeding we do is carefully planned using health tested parent dogs with quality in mind, in hopes that we will have a puppy or two to keep and move forward with. Of course, not every puppy produced should go on to reproduce for a variety of reasons. These puppies will be available to loving companion or performance homes.
Due to the great financial and emotional investment of producing a litter, as well as the many many hours of time involved, we don't breed litters often right now - maybe once per year. It's a lot of work! This is true for many responsible breeders. We encourage you to start searching for a good breeder at least 6 months before you plan to take a puppy home; one year in advance would be even better. Talk with many breeders and get an idea of what your ideal Aussie would be like. Don't "puppy shop" - breeder shop! This breed has a lot of variety within it, so there is something for everyone! Our idea of an ideal Aussie may not be yours. Ask lots of questions and look for a breeder who is patient, open and honest with your questions. And expect to be asked about yourself in return! We want to place our babies in suitable, loving homes and obtain the best match between puppy and owner! We want you to succeed!

Temperament First
We place puppies by temperament and individual potential first. While we understand that most people have color or sex preferences, and we work with you to the best of our abilities to meet those preferences, the personality of the dog is what is most important. In the long run, you will be much happier with an Aussie that suits your lifestyle and family than one that looks a certain way/is a particular gender but does not fit in at all!
Health Guarantee
Our puppies are sold on a 48 hr approval basis. During this time we recommend that you take your puppy to the vet. If the puppy is in any way unacceptable within that time you may return him or her for a full refund. Our puppies are also sold with a 36 month guarantee against any genetic life-threatening or disabling disorders, and a further guarantee of 6 years against primary epilepsy and inherited cataracts.
Spay/Neuter
All puppies that are strictly pet/companion will be sold with a spay/neuter contract on limited registration. We also accept alternative forms of sterilization (Ovary-Sparing Spay, Vasectomy, etc). We encourage owners to wait until a dog is sexually mature before traditional spay/neuter procedures be performed.
We now also require a $50 spay/neuter deposit due to be paid when you pick up your puppy. We have had problems in the past with people not getting the required spay/neuter proofs to us in a timely manner. The $50 deposit will be returned to you, per the purchase agreement, within 21 days of our receipt of the proof of spay/neuter.
