Here at Oletown I try to place each puppy in the right home. In order to do this, it's necessary to have more information on the prospective buyer, not only for the puppy's best interest but also for yours. Not all families are right for an Australian Shepherd. Sometimes another breed might be better suited for your lifestyle and personality.
At Oletown, and all performance/companion puppies will be sold on a spay/neuter contract.
If you are interested in a puppy, please complete the questionnaire below. Puppies will be sold to approved homes only.
Thank you very much. Please copy and paste in an e-mail to [email protected] I will get in touch with you in a few days.
