VERTILLUS

At Vertillus, our love of the Australian Shepherd began after falling for the breed while at training with our Labrador back in 2018. We respect the breed standard and strive to produce sound, intelligent and versatile Aussies. Outstanding temperaments and Aussies that are ready to excel at whatever they do - companionship, showing, sports, adventure - underpins what we do. Our dogs here are family members first, and we love loving and working alongside them. We actively show our Aussies, and have dabbled in dog sports and look forward to further involvement. Our dogs love working just as much as they love cuddling up with you on the couch. Our health and DNA tested (including eyes, hips and elbows, genetic profiling) dogs have a fantastic quality of life, and it is an expectation that puppies - from carefully selected parents - that leave from our home would have the same. The start to life puppies have here include socialisation and appropriate exposure to new things, premium nutrition, quality vet care and balanced foundations to start their long life ahead of them. I am so grateful for the ongoing mentoring I receive from people within and outside of this beautiful breed, and the knowledge and skills I continue to learn from these wonderful people inspire me to be better each day. We are based in South-West Victoria and regularly travel between Adelaide, Melbourne (and wider Vic) and up the east coast to QLD with our dogs. Enquires welcome: vertillus@outlook.com
