Miniature American Shepherd puppies are being sold in Novosibirsk for prices ranging from 270,000 to 300,000 rubles. The advertisement for the puppies was posted on Avito, a popular online marketplace.
The owner of the kennel, Nadezhda, provided details about the puppies, highlighting their suitability for exhibitions and breeding programs. According to the advertisement, there are two female puppies available, described as being without flaws or shortcomings.
The puppies, born on March 28th, have been vaccinated and tattooed, and come with all necessary documentation. The advertisement specifies that the father of the puppies was imported from France for breeding purposes, while the mother participates in frisbee competitions and shows. She is described as responsive, tactile, and possessing excellent anatomy and game motivation. The puppies’ grandmother has a background in dancing. The mother’s parents were brought from America.
According to Nadezhda, the puppies do not have special care requirements, but during shedding periods, regular grooming is necessary to remove fluff and prevent overheating. For pets participating in exhibitions, grooming also involves trimming the fur on the ears, paws, and tail.
The puppies are fed dry food but can be transitioned to natural food. They are not prone to allergies, tolerate various foods well, and adapt easily to new environments. One puppy is described as more active and outgoing, while the other is calmer but still curious and playful. Both are said to be affectionate and enjoy human interaction.
The owner clarified that the higher price of 300,000 rubles is for the puppy with the more symmetrical coloration, which is often preferred by judges at exhibitions. Nadezhda offers assistance and support to new owners, including guidance on participating in exhibitions and selecting suitable mates.
