What makes Amanda’s program special
We take pride in raising happy healthy pups from health tested parents who have excellent temperaments to boot. We offer a lifetime of breeder support and will never turn away one of our babies if the family meets hard times.
What is Good Dog?

Amanda has been certified by Good Dog's screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you're ready to reach out, feel free to ask any questions about the breed, their program, or specific puppies. You'll also have the chance to share a bit about yourself and what you're looking for in a new companion. Together, you'll choose the puppy that's right for you, stay in touch with regular updates, and plan how to bring your new puppy home.
Puppy prices range from $800 - $1,200 and include a non-refundable deposit of $300.
“You will be receiving your pups AKC registration and/or AKC/ASCA if double registered. The pup will also have age appropriate vaccinations and dewormings. The deposit will reserve the puppy of your liking.”
Amanda may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase. If Amanda offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don’t hesitate to reach out to Amanda directly.
We use many things to socialize our babies. Our family does a lot of hands-on play with the pups from a very young age. We also expose them to kitties at a young age because many families have cats and we want them to be well acquainted with other species. I utilize the following enrichment methods: Socialized with Children and Socialized with Cats.
All of our pups are on a 2-week deworming schedule. They will also receive first vaccinations starting at 6 weeks and will follow up every 2 weeks until pups placed into forever homes. They will also have veterinarian written health certificates for flying or transportation.
Your puppy may come with extra benefits, like a small bag of food or a toy carrying the scent of their littermates. While Prime Tyme Aussies 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.
Amanda offers options to help you easily get your new puppy home.
If you’re nearby, you can visit in person to pick up your pup. If you’re far away, you can travel by car or plane.
Work with a trusted transporter to get your puppy comfortably dropped off at an airport or meeting point close to home.
Why Amanda started breeding
I've been a lover of animals my entire life. When I was roughly 13 my parents bought our first Aussie, Ginger. I've been hooked ever since. I started my journey with breeding in 1999.
