Pricing & Training Options

Puppy Pricing
$3,000
Initial puppy price
All puppies in our program have an initial price of $3,000.
We keep our pricing consistent regardless of a puppy’s sex, color, or markings because what truly matters is helping each family find the puppy that is the best fit for their home and lifestyle.
The initial price covers your puppy along with their go-home bag and information packet. Optional professional training packages may be available for families who want their puppy to begin additional training before coming home.
Training packages are optional and trainer fees are separate from the initial puppy price.

Why Choose Extended Training?

Bringing home a puppy is exciting, but it also comes with challenges. Extended training packages give your puppy extra time with professional trainers during an important developmental stage. This strengthens the foundation we start and helps your puppy grow into a calmer, more confident companion.

More confidence for your puppy

Smoother transition for the whole family
How It Works

The BFF Placement Journey

A thoughtful path from first hello to the right match.
1
Tell us about your family
Share your experience with dogs, where you live, your lifestyle, and what you are looking for in a companion.
2
Complete the puppy questionnaire
This helps us understand your goals, home environment, and the kind of Aussie that would thrive with you.
3
Join the active waitlist
After the Puppy Preparation & Placement Plan fee is completed, families are placed on the active waitlist for consideration.
4
Puppies are evaluated as they grow
Each puppy is carefully evaluated for temperament, development, confidence, and suitability for different home types.
5
Matches are made thoughtfully
Final placement depends on the puppy’s individual temperament and the needs and goals of your family—not color alone.
Puppy Preparation & Placement Plan
What the $500 service fee supports
Families participate in our Puppy Preparation & Placement Plan, which includes a required $500 service fee.
This fee reflects the significant time, care, and services provided for each litter. It does not reserve or hold a specific puppy—it makes your family eligible to be thoughtfully considered once evaluations are complete.
Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS)
Early Scent Introduction (ESI)
Structured early handling
Professional temperament evaluations

Vaccines
Microchipping
