We want to take the stress out of bringing your new fur-baby home. When you adopt one of our puppies you get a complete package.
The demand for the striking merle coloring has been overwhelming! For the first time in seven years of breeding we are pricing our color options differently. We hope this evens out the adoptions a bit.
Same amazing dogs in a less-flashy package :)

We are offering several litters a year. Your paid deposit reserves your "picking order." First deposit gets first pick, second deposit gets second pick, and so on. Picking happens when the puppies are approximately 5 weeks old, often via video chat. Card payments are accepted over the phone and through email invoice. Most people deposit money to hold their picking order as we rarely have un-spoken for puppies to individually offer after 5 weeks of age.
We firmly believe each of our puppies are equally valuable, regardless of color or gender. We want the right match for you! We recently changed our pricing structure to help adopters consider our black and white-colored puppies as much as the merles. Your $500 deposit goes toward the total package price of either $2,000 or $3,000, depending on your color preference. The balance is due before Go-Home Day and will be invoiced to you via email after Picking Day when you select your puppy.
We accept non-refundable deposits year-round. Your deposit reserves your picking order of the next available puppy. Picking order is first-come-first-served and determined by the date your deposit money is received. If your heart doesn't resonate with the perfect fur-baby when your pick comes up we are happy to "roll" your picking spot to the next litter available.
We typically wait till 5 weeks of age for puppy parents to pick their fur babies. Their eyes will be open and we will start to see some personality by then. We strive to post pictures and/or videos daily on our Facebook page so you can get to know the puppies well before Picking Day. Most people pick remotely via video chat and do not have to come in person. Although you are welcome to come pick in person if you would like.
Our puppies usually get reserved before they are born, so if you are serious about getting a Kittelson Border-Aussie please do not hesitate to contact us. Your deposit money, of course, goes toward the final price of your puppy. Keep in mind that our deposits are non-refundable. We want to make sure our adopters are committed to our puppies. You may "roll" your deposit to the next litter.
Delivery to pick-up points in Portland, Oregon are free. Of course you are also welcome to pick up your pup right from our home.
A fantastic option is to fly out to the Portland, Oregon airport (PDX). My most used pick-up location is a 5-minute Uber drive from the airport. I can meet you there and hand you your puppy. You bring an airline approved carry-on kennel. You fly back with your puppy at your feet. For more information click here, scroll down and click "Pets in the cabin."
As of November 2020, most airlines have stopped permitting pet cargo. Fortunately, Alaska Airlines is keeping it open. However, many airports will not accept pet cargo if the weather forecast at time of arrival is very hot or very cold. We would deliver the puppy to the Portland International Airport and put them on the pet cargo flight you have booked. For more information click here.
As of June 2022, I have not found a reliable ground shipper. There are plenty of people out there that you are able to hire to pick up the puppy from us and drive them (or fly with them) to your door. It is usually costly and we cannot be responsible for your puppy once it leaves our hands. If you have someone you trust we are happy to work with them.
Please contact us with any questions or to reserve your puppy! We accept credit cards.
