My name is Chris, formally known as C4 Australian Shepherds, now 4Feathers Australian Shepherds. Not only do I raise AKC/ASCA registered standard Australian Shepherds, I raise AQHA performance horses. My Grandpa introduced me to this spectacular breed when I was just a little kid on the ranch. He would always say, "You need a really good horse, and a really good Australian Shepherd to get the job done", my love flourished from there. I decided one day, I wanted to share this "aussome" breed with others. I calculate every breeding to ensure we have sound minded, biddable, structured Aussies. I strive for confirmation with each pair. Pedigrees are just as important, therefore we have some foundation bred into our program from when I first started and incorporated them with some outstanding lines, with some outstanding breeders. We have these lines crossed to ensure the Australian Shepherd stays true to itself.

We have large turn out areas for our Aussies, typically two to a pen, all with custom built, insulated dog lodges. We also have covered runs for singles, all in fair size to meet each dogs need. Our whelping/ puppy houses are heat and air controlled. I stay with the whelping mothers until each puppy has arrived, therefore, it also has a comfy set up for me! Our Aussies enjoy free time , walks with the grands, swimming in the pond and sometimes, against my control, in the pool. We do everything possible to have healthy adult dogs. All the females are taking "In Between for Her" vitamins, the pregnant females are take "Prenatal" vitamins and the females who have delivered puppies "Postnatal" vitamins. Our boys who are not breeding at the time take "In Between for Him" vitamins and our active studs take a reproductive support vitamin as well. Our puppies receive Nutri cal up until they are eating on their own, at this point they are given a diet specifically to meet their growing needs. Our feeding program is structured for the individual dog, some eat the same thing, others have a special diet to benefit their needs. Often people do not realize all that goes into raising Australian Shepherds, or any dog for that matter...it is a full time job, sometimes the elements are not in our favor, and clearly things can go wrong at any time. We strive to keep our dogs healthy with their vaccinations, dewormings and all the extra, but things can still happen even with all our efforts. Our main goal here at 4Feathers, is to raise the quality over the quanity, we will do everything we can to make sure you have the best of the best! Our pet prices are listed on each puppy page in the caption. Breeding rights can be considered if mate meets the criteria, AKC and/or AKC/ASCA registered, health testing, and an established breeder. All breeding dogs considered are $2000.00, no matter of color, age, or gender.
