ASK WITH CARE

Clarity is just smart.

ASK EARLY · ASK OFTEN

There is no wrong time to want clarity.

Legacy guidance is organized here into the program, the journey home, and the first days. Food, health, and exercise guidance should always be checked against your veterinarian and current product information.

01

THE PROGRAM

How many litters do you have a year?

We usually produce one litter between the spring and summer months, and planning is based on the interest of forever homes. At 303, we build a reservation list to ensure a need and desire for our puppies before bringing them into the world.

Are the puppies registered?

Yes. Every 303 puppy is registered through the American Kennel Club. Puppies are recorded a few days after birth and go home with their AKC application packet.

Are your Aussies minis or standards?

All of our Aussies are Standards. Males average 55–65 pounds and approximately 20–23 inches at the shoulder. Females tend to weigh 40–55 pounds and average 18–22 inches.

Do you do genetic health testing?

Yes. All of our dogs are tested through Paw Print Genetics. We also use UC Davis for Merle SINE length testing and coat-color genetics.

Do your dogs leave after retirement?

No. Every dog stays at 303 to live out their golden years. Our commitment lasts for life.

Do you offer outside stud service?

No. The legacy program policy states that Mason and Odin produce only 303 puppies.

02

THE JOURNEY HOME

How do I apply for a 303 puppy?

Start with the contact page. An honest conversation is the beginning of the application process.

How do I choose my puppy?

We prefer puppy picks in person so the bond can lead the choice. If that is not possible, a video conversation is a strong second option for watching the litter interact with people and one another.

Do you ship puppies?

No. We prefer each puppy’s new family to accompany them home. For clients traveling from out of state, we can arrange to meet at Denver International Airport for a personal handoff.

What should we bring for the trip?

Bring a collapsible kennel or travel crate with room to turn around, a training pad, bed or blanket, a small toy, water, dry food, a travel bowl, and a secure collar or harness with leash.

03

THE FIRST DAYS

What do you recommend for nutrition?

At 303, we use Nutro Natural Choice Adult and Puppy Food and supplement with high-quality fish oil plus probiotics and prebiotics. We do not advocate a grain-free diet. Please research grain-free and raw diets carefully with your veterinarian.

What should we look for in a veterinarian?

303 recommends finding a fair, honest, and consistent veterinarian: compare prices, read reviews, speak with the staff, and keep vaccinations, rabies, and deworming current—especially during the first year.

How much exercise does an Aussie puppy need?

A happy puppy is a tired puppy, but mental stimulation matters as much as movement. Avoid extensive physical exercise while bones and joints are still developing, generally until 18–24 months. Stay active and watch for fatigue.

What helps with potty training?

Consistency, routine, and praise. Take a puppy outside after eating, drinking, and waking from sleep. Those first few days of predictable breaks help everyone acclimate.

Where should a puppy sleep?

Keep your new best friend close for the first few nights. A safe space creates security—some puppies prefer a den-like crate, some a blanket, and others a cool hard surface. Pay attention and learn what helps them settle.
