*
Have you had an Aussie or similar breed before? What made you decide an Aussie is right for you? Describe your previous experience with dogs:
*
Do you have any color preferences? Are you willing to accept a different color puppy if they are otherwise determined to be a good fit for you?
*
NOTE: If you have a specific color preference and are not willing to settle for a different color, we need to know in advance so that we can discuss options with you and determine whether or not we will be able to accommodate you. We CANNOT take eye color requests under any circumstances.
Do you have a gender preference for your puppy?

I will only accept a male puppy
I will only accept a female puppy
I prefer a male puppy but would accept a female
I prefer a female puppy but would accept a male
I am equally willing to accept a puppy of either gender
What energy level would be ideal for your puppy to have?
*
Low-medium energy (calmer demeanor; takes effort to get them excited)
Medium energy (upbeat demeanor; can be excited if you are, but settles quickly)
Medium-high energy (busy and active; likes to be moving, may need some training to encourage them to settle)
High energy (very busy and active; always wants to be moving, will need training to know how to settle and focus)
What level of drive would be ideal for your puppy to have?
*
(Drive is the level of the dog's desire to work a job and to "do")
Low-medium drive (does not typically require tasks to do, easy to live with, will require frequent rewards during training, may struggle to push through pressure or frustration during training/tasks)
Medium drive (needs modest amount of tasks to do, easy to live with, may require frequent rewards during training, can tolerate moderate pressure or frustration during training/tasks and competition stress)
Medium-high drive (needs regular tasks to do, needs modest rewards during training, well-suited to tolerate pressure or frustration during training/tasks and competition stress)
High drive (requires an experienced owner to provide daily tasks, needs modest rewards during training, will push through high levels of stress/frustration, can be prone to overarousal, well-suited for high levels of intense competition and training)

DEPOSIT POLICY: We require a $300 deposit, applied towards the total purchase price, if you would like to commit to the wait list and be considered for a puppy. Deposits are NON-REFUNDABLE but can be transfered to another litter born in the following 12mos, after which time the deposit expires. We cannot guarantee coat color preference requests, UNLESS this has been agreed upon in advance. We reserve the right to return a deposit at any time should we determine that we do not have a suitable puppy available for you. Determining puppy placements is a time consuming process that we take very seriously, and this helps us focus our efforts on working with families that are as committed to us as we are to them.
By checking this box, I am acknowledging and agreeing with the above deposit policy should I choose to place a deposit with Echolight Australian Shepherds.
