Australian Shepherds of All Sizes and Miniature American Shepherds
Alstar Aussies is located in Illinois halfway between Peoria and Moline, near Oneida, on Route 34. We are approximately 3-1/2 hours from Chicago. We are a small kennel with a great love for our Aussies. Our puppies are hand-raised in our home with our grandchildren. We strive for quality puppies that will become wonderful, loyal family dogs. All of our breeding dogs are OFA hip certified and their eyes are cleared by a licensed ophthalmologist. We furnish papers to register your puppy with either AKC, ASCA, UKC; for our smaller Aussies, MASCA; and NAMASCUSA and AKC for Miniature American Shepherds.
Alstars' breeding program has been carefully selected to find the right pedigree, structure and temperament so that each of my males and females will compliment each other. We also have checked for any health issues in all our breeding stock pedigrees. This way we can ensure you that we will produce happy, healthy puppies with excellent conformation, temperaments and that have the ability to achieve in every venue plus being a devoted, loving family pet. Puppies are born and raised in my home with lots of attention and loving care. All puppies come up to date on vaccinations, worming and with a health guarantee in addition to appropriate registration papers.
Congratulations to Daneille and Jasper (Copper x Page) on earning High in Trial for Junior Handlers and High in Trial overall at the UKC obedience and rally trials hosted by Boneyard Training Club, Urbana, IL in August 2013.
