Our Process

If you are interested in a Rigas Mini Aussie, please fill out and submit a Puppy Application.  An application is required, we want to get to know a little about yourself and your family!  Once we receive your application we will review it and contact you with any additional questions.  If you don't hear back from us in a day, please email us at rigasminiaussies@gmail.com or Contact Us.  Puppies will only be placed in approved homes.


To reserve an available puppy from a current litter, a non-refundable deposit of $400 is required.  The deposit is deducted from the final cost of the puppy.  No puppy will be held at any time without a deposit.  The deposit is non-refundable should you change your mind for any reason or decide not to follow through and get the puppy.  


If you are interested in a puppy from an upcoming litter, we accept non-refundable pre-deposits of $100 to reserve your place on our picklist.  The pre-deposit will secure your selection from any upcoming litter and once a litter is born, selections will be made in the order in which pre-deposits were placed (first pre-deposit gets first pick, etc.).  Pre-deposits are not refundable for any reason but can be moved to the next upcoming litter.  Once you have made your puppy selection, an additional non-refundable deposit of $300 is required to hold the puppy in your name (for a total deposit of $400).  Rigas Mini Aussies LLC reserves the right to pick of the litter (first selection) on all litters.  If you are interested in a specific color and sex of puppy (for example, a blue merle female) we strongly encourage you to place a non-refundable pre-deposit for an upcoming litter.  


Puppies range in price from $2,200 for a merle (blue and red) and $1,800 for a tri (black and red) with the occassional puppy priced slightly higher or lower.  All puppies are sold as pet-only/limited registration with a spay/neuter contract.  Please contact us if interested in full registration/breeding rights (can be considered for an additional fee).  We accept payment through Venmo, PayPal and GoodDog Secure Payment.  Final payment may be made in cash at the time of pickup or the day prior to pickup if using online payment.  For any puppy leaving on transport, final payment must be made the day prior to leaving.  We do not accept checks or money orders.


All puppies go home at eight weeks old.  They will have had a initial vet check, tails docked, been wormed every two weeks, be litter box trained, introduced to the crate, had their first vaccination, and a health check by our veterinarian.  Puppies may be kept longer than eight weeks at the request of the buyer.  If requested to keep past nine weeks old, an additional charge of $5 per day will be added to the final cost of the puppy and must be paid at pickup or before leaving on transport.


Puppies go home with all their paperwork, a blanket and and toy with mom and siblings scent, some food to get you started, 30 days of free insurance, and other goodies.


We do our best to estimate the size and weight of our puppies but cannot guarantee how big they will get.  Sometimes a puppy will grow to standard size (over 18" tall) and sometimes a puppy will stay toy sized (under 14" tall).
