$650. Pet/Non-Breeding prospects.  These are puppies that are perfectly healthy, but should not be bred
or shown in AKC or ASCA reg conformation. These pups are sold on a  spayed/neutered contract with a
$50.00 refund on proof of spay/neuter and are guaranteed for health. They can also compete in obedience,
agility, herding, fly ball, tracking,  frisbee, etc. and the new ASCA Altered conformation program. They
will also make great additions to your family as a companion.

We do require a deposit of at least $100 to hold a puppy for you until it is time to send them home.
All  deposits are non refundable.

Our requirements
1.) All our Aussie are sold by contract only. We do this to protect our dogs and to assure all our buyers
      that We stand behind every dog produced at Crystalgene's.
      Do you have a problem with signing our contract?
2.) We require that both ASCA and AKC registration papers be filled out and sent in for individual
      registrations, and that the numbers are sent to us for our records. Will this be a problem for you?
      If so why?
3.) We ask that all OFA and Cerf evaluation results be reported to us, once again this is for our records.
     Will this be a problem?
4.) We recommend that all pups be taken to puppy obedience class. (or some type of training and
      socialization) Will this be a problem for you?

      papers.  Do you have a problem with this?          If so Why?
6.) We as breeders strive to breed Aussies that are physically and mentally sound, this does not however
      mean that all our Aussie are perfect, if a problem arises We want to be contacted immediately with full
      details whether genetic or  otherwise. (including death) Again this helps us to keep accurate records.
      Will this be a problem? If yes why?

      life, We love Pictures! ! ! )
8.) We require that all dogs acquired from us be brought back to us if you can no longer keep the dog.
      (see contract) Will this be a problem? (this does not mean that you can't have a say in where the dog
        goes.)
 9.) If we do not have the Aussie for you, May we refer you to another reputable Breeder?

 Thank you for taking the time to fill out the questionnaire. We hope you understand the reasons for the
 need to have a questionnaire. (most questions arise because of past experiences) We only want our
 Aussies to have a happy and healthy life. We trust as a dog lover you too can appreciate this.
