  • Our females are given NuVet Plus® Immune System Builder before and during each pregnancy and the entire time they are nursing.  Puppies are started on NuVet Plus® once they are weaned and will be kept on it for at least 90 days in order to cover the immunity gap between weaning and developing their own immune system.

  • We register all of our litters with American Stock Dog Registry, paid for by Rafter JM Aussies.  If additional registration is desired with MASCA or IMASC we will provide the completed application but buyer must pay the fees associated.  
  • Shipping can be arranged for around $500.  That includes a crate, shipping fee, vet check & health certificate.   Contact us for further information as not everyone qualifies.   
  • We do offer delivery by flight nanny.  This generally runs about $550 but some circumstances may increase that amount.  


                 Refunds/Exchanges:  


         In the event that a situation arises where an exchange or refund for one of our mini aussies is necessary, in accordance with our policies, the following steps must followed in full:

  • A vet check must be completed by two different veterinarians to provide proof of claim and/or verify the health of the pup being refunded/exchanged. 
  • All  shipping expenses are paid by the buyer.  
  • In the event your living situation has changed and you need to re-home the puppy, we will refund the amount of the puppy (minus the deposit) and take possession or we will help you find a home for it.  In the event of transfer of ownership, the dog is still bound by contract and original buyer will be held accountable unless new contract is entered by new owners and breeder.
  • We reserve the right of first refusal in any case of re-homing a Rafter JM Aussie.
