Rozi - Debi's Aussie Puppy |
Puppies. Puppies. Puppies. Nothing is more adorable than a puppy. We have nine 7-week old puppies that appear to be some type of herding breed mix. Half look like German Shepherds and half look like Australian Shepherds.
These pups were whelped in the foster home of Rhywnn, a long time volunteer who delights in giving Mama dogs and their pups a great start in life. Rhywnn keeps the little family in her bedroom and often sits in the whelping box to read books.
When selecting a new puppy, you should ask yourself at least these four questions. 1). Do the breed characteristics fit in with my lifestyle. 2). Has the pup had a good start in life? 3). Do the parents of the puppy have a good temperment? 4). Am I committed to training and socializing this puppy? Austin Dog Alliance can answer yes to questions 2 and 3. You will need to decide question 1 and 4 for yourself. We can offer you a great puppy training class, but you need to be committed to working with your pup.
If you are looking for a new puppy this summer, you can meet our litter on June 5 from 11 - 1 at the Hill Country Galleria, Suite 0-125 (near Dick's Sporting Goods). We are also having an open house for our new training space. So please join us for some puppy kisses, meet our instructors, have a few snacks and enjoy a small craft project. Puppies will be ready to go home on June 16, after their first FREE Puppy Head Start training class, a spay or neuter and age appropriate shots.
Our lucky K9 Kids summer campers will get to play with the pups during camp. Don't you wish there were dog camps when you were that age?
Enjoy your summer,
 Debi Krakar, CPDT
Executive Director, Austin Dog Alliance

| Join Us for Yappy Hour at Hub Restaurant |
 You've heard the story about a tourist in New York City, asking a stranger on the street for directions to Carnegie Hall, right? The stranger turned out to be a world renown classical musician who quickly replied: "How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Practice. Practice. Practice."
While scratching myself, next to the fire hydrant on the corner, some mutt came up and asked me for directions...so...I told him: "How do you get to Fetching Art? Practice. Practice. Practice." ---world renowned, Beethoven, the movie dog
