Your puppy may come with extra benefits, like a small bag of food or a toy carrying the scent of their littermates. While Audacity Australian Shepherds hasn’t shared specifics yet, we encourage you to reach out directly to learn what thoughtful extras they may include to help your puppy transition comfortably into their new home.

About Capri
Capri is an amazing little spitfire of a dog. She is a wonderful dog that is super affectionate and bubbling with personality. She is a higher drive dog and always ready to focus and work. She has become the perfect little juniors dog as she adores working with the kids. We are currently training in obedience, rally, and herding. We have recently started her rally trial career and she is far exceeding my expectations. We are very excited for this girl's future! She is scheduled for OFA hips/elbow finals on her 2nd birthday 6/1/2023. She will not be bred until after we have those results.
