How I imagine their owners
What kind of dog a puppy ultimately becomes is not determined only by what it was born with and what foundations it received from the breeder. An equally important role will be played by the person by whose side it will live its entire life.
For several weeks, I create the whole world for that little animal and prepare it for the world that awaits it. And then comes the moment when I hand it over to another person and I will no longer be able to influence every day of its life. It has to be someone about whom I can say to myself: I trust this person enough to entrust them with something for which I myself feel an enormous responsibility.
We are forever responsible for what we have once tamed.
At the moment when a puppy leaves its mother, siblings and the environment that until then represented its entire world, it places all of its trust in the person who is taking it home. At that moment, this person becomes its closest being, its sense of security and its guide in the human world it is discovering. From that moment on, this person has a huge influence on what the dog experiences, what it learns, what experiences it gains and what kind of dog it will become. From that moment on, they are responsible for everything that happens in its life, for what they allow to happen to it, and for the mark that lived situations and our decisions leave behind. This responsibility does not end after a month or after several years; we accept this responsibility for its entire life. – Because we are forever responsible for what we have once tamed. Me and you.
I would like the person and the dog not to live alongside each other, but to live together. I would like to find an owner for whom the dog becomes a full and equal part of life and who will truly share their life with the dog.
I am not looking for a perfect owner who feels they already know everything. What is much more important to me is an open mind, healthy humility and a willingness to discover and grow. For my puppies, I wish for an active, curious and proactive person who is willing to invest their time and energy in the dog. Responsible dog ownership also comes with considerable financial costs. I would like owners for whom the first criterion when making decisions is not always the lowest price or the shortest possible distance, but who are willing to seek quality and, if necessary, travel for it. I am looking for a person who takes an interest, searches for information and thinks about the possibilities, asks questions, wants to learn, try new things, think about their dog and their own approach, and move forward together with their dog.
Don’t Waste Your Dog.
The Australian Shepherd is a breed that has been bred for generations for work and cooperation with people. Its ability to think, learn and solve problems, its willingness to work alongside its owner at any time, and its need for shared activity are not extra qualities that we can make use of only when we happen to feel like it. They are an essential part of what this breed is. I would like the owners of my puppies to want to discover what their dog has within it, explore its possibilities and give it the opportunity to develop its potential, whatever the discipline may be. Don’t waste your dog. Look for its natural abilities, develop its skills, find what both you and your dog enjoy, make full use of the possibilities and enjoy every moment that your life together offers you.
Results in the form of exams, competitions or other goals can be one possible outcome of well-guided work together. A content, balanced and happy dog, and a strong bond between the dog and its owner – that is the main value and benefit that surpasses everything else. For my puppies,
I would wish for people with open hearts, ready to accept their dog as it will be. Every puppy is a unique living being, and even with the most careful selection of a puppy, it is impossible to determine exactly what kind of dog it will one day become. It may be more active, calmer, more sensitive, more independent, more demanding in some ways, or simply different from what its person originally imagined. Wishes and expectations are natural, but they should not become a template into which the dog must fit at any cost. Accepting the dog as it is, however, does not mean giving up on its upbringing and development. On the contrary – it means an opportunity to get to know the dog I have in front of me, respect its individuality and look for a way towards mutual understanding, how to work with it and develop together. A large part of what kind of dog the puppy eventually becomes will also be influenced by its person. I will do my best to make a suitable match between a particular puppy and person, but I do not see it as the right approach for a new owner to take over a dog as the fulfilment of a pre-written scenario.
For the puppies that are close to my heart, I am looking for owners with whom I will share similar values and a similar view of dogs, their place in our lives, their use, and a responsible approach to breeding.
For me, contact does not end when the puppy is handed over. Each of them will forever remain a piece of my breeding, and I will want to know how they are doing, follow their development, temperament, working potential and health. I therefore need openness from the owners and a certain willingness to cooperate and provide feedback. I consider a genuine overview and knowledge of the health development of the offspring, as well as a transparent approach to results, to be an important part of responsible breeding. At the same time, I would like the owner of one of my puppies to know that they can turn to me at any time – with joy, a question or a request for help. I wish for the relationship between me and the owners of my puppies to be based on mutual trust, openness and the awareness that we are both connected by our interest in one particular dog and in its happy life.
