He is your
friend, your partner, your defender, your dog.
You are his life, his love, his leader.
He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart.
You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.

So who's the bright spark who decided that ALL the girls
should come in heat at once?
And who are the crazy people who decided if we're going to
have a litter or two this year,
now's as good a time as any! Well things are going
to get wild and crazy here...it should make for a very interesting spring time!
For your consideration, we are proud to announce our 2008
litters...

Our dream, here at Mikatura, is to
help our puppy buyers follow their dreams...best wishes to all of you and thank you for
helping us fulfill our dream of making people happy by helping them have a great Aussie to
share their lives. We wish all of you the very happiest of lives and hope to hear
from you all regularly...dream big and may all your dreams come true!
Interested puppy buyers, please note: Although we will
always keep in mind the colour preference of our puppy buyers we DO NOT
place our pups in homes based solely on colour choice. We evaluate the
pups from day 1 and puppies are placed based on a wide variety of things
including temperament, natural instinct, and suitability. If you are
interested in a puppy from an upcoming litter we recommend you complete our
questionnaire and speak with us (via phone, e-mail or in person) after that.
When we have a litter planned we will notify you and we request a deposit
from people interested in a pup. A deposit ensures ONLY that you will
be considered as a prospective home and we reserve the right to choose not
to place a puppy in a prospective home at any time or for any reason.
Our first consideration is the safety and well-being of our puppies, from
the day they are conceived until the day (hopefully long in the future) when
they pass on.

Regarding 'mini' Aussies...
Recently there has been a rise in the movement to
breed “miniature”, and sadly, even a “toy” version of the Australian
Shepherd.
Neither of these are recognized by any of the
official Australian Shepherd clubs/organizations. The Australian Shepherd
Club of America (ASCA), the Canadian Kennel Club (CKC), the American
Kennel Club (AKC), nor the United States Australian Shepherd Association,
Inc. (USASA), recognize nor register these dogs. The dogs are only
recognized by their own breed clubs which have been formed since they
were denied recognition by the above clubs. They are NOT a 'variety'
of the true Australian Shepherd, they are a totally separate breed.
We do not breed "mini's", will not allow our males to be
used to breed to a "mini" and will not recommend a breeder to you because
we personally do not support the purposeful breeding of 'miniature” or
“toy” dogs that are then passed off as Australian Shepherds. We breed our Aussies to the ASCA and CKC
recognized standard of excellence. These clubs require all of their
members to abide by their rules and regulations and their Code of Ethics,
and to be ever vigilant in the preservation and protection of the true
Australian Shepherd.
If you are looking for a miniature we suggest you try
the following links:

Treat Me Kindly
Treat me kindly, my
beloved friend,
For no heart in all the world is more
grateful for kindness than the loving
heart of me.
Do not break my spirit
with a stick,
For though I should lick your hand
between blows, your patience and
understanding will more quickly
teach me the things you would have me learn.
Speak to me often, For
your voice is
the world's sweetest music, as you must
know by the fierce wagging of my tail
when your footsteps fall upon my ears.
Please take me inside when
it is cold
and wet, For I am a domesticated
animal, no longer accustomed to the
bitter elements. I ask no greater glory
than the privilege of sitting at your
feet beside the hearth.
Keep my pan filled with
water, for I
cannot tell you when I suffer thirst.
Feed me clean food that I may stay well,
to romp and play and do your bidding,
to walk by your side, and stand ready,
willing and able to protect you with
my life, should your life be in danger.
And, my friend, when I am
very old, and
I no longer enjoy good health, hearing
and good sight, do not make heroic
efforts to keep me going.
I am not having fun.
Please see that my
trusting life is taken gently. I shall
leave this earth knowing with the last
breath I drew, that my fate was always
safest in your hand.
~~ Beth Norman Harris 1968
On their way to their new homes, three of our April 2006 pups spent a night in Valemount, BC at a very pet friendly resort!
