We have an invisible fence for our 2 australian shepherds and have never had a problem. Our dogs have never broken through the fence, so they have never been "corrected" for being where they are supposed to be. But since the receiver beeps first, and then gives a correction if they do not move...

Update: we are not buying the puppy, and they are supposedly going to refund our deposit, however originally they did not want to. So we'll see what happens

Hey everyone, thanks for the advice and info. Yea, my gut was telling me it just didn't seem right and now we know better. We do already have an Australian Shepherd, purebred that we bought here locally. We were able to go out there and see the conditions ourselves and have not had any medical...

Thanks, yorkielover, i think that's what we will do. we'll find somewhere closer to home that we can visit in person. by the way, out of curiosity, does anyone know if it is common to lose the runts out of the litters or for mothers to smother their puppies? i have obviously never owned a dog...

well, it's an australian shepherd, and while in retrospect maybe we should have done more research on the breeder, that's water under the bridge now. my boyfriend was excited to get another puppy and so rather hastily found a breeder online & put the deposit down pretty much right away. we...

i'm posting this question here as i need some help in determining if we should buy this puppy or not. the story: we arranged to purchase a puppy from a breeder. the breeder had 4 litters within a short amount of time from each other. there have been a few puppies lost from each litter. i was...

that is so cute!! i have an aussie too and we have that exact same toy. he likes to run after it if we throw it in the yard, but he's not so good at bringing it back. and he has never been in the water. he's just 14 weeks now.

hey, i finally posted a picture of cosmo, in the dog photo galleries

this is cosmo at 7 weeks

wow, she is adorable. how big is she. i only ask cause she looks small, compared to my puppy. i have a 13 week old aussie male, and he is already 28 pounds, and i'm afraid i already didn't take enough pictures of him when he was littler.

I have a blue merle male puppy. He is just over 3 months old now, and he is great!! He is quite a handful, I will say, but smart as can be. We had an invisible fence installed last week and were told should take him a total of about 30 days to be fully trained. Well, all it took was one day...

hey, thanks for the suggestion, that sounds great. i'm gonna try it out.
