Some people reserve a puppy up to one year in advance to be assured of getting the "pick of the litter". About 50% of puppies are sold before they are born, the rest are sold when we know exactly what sex are in the litter. We have a pretty good idea what the females will produce. We try not to oversell. If we come up short and cannot supply the proper puppy, the deposit will be moved to the next litter. These puppies are worth the wait!

It's important to know what you are paying for. The AKC has guidelines for breeders. When you get your registration papers, you can also request the bloodlines to see where your dog came from. If something changes in your life and you need to find another home for your dog an AKC registered dog is easier to sell and you will get more money. Breeders have to comply with the AKC guidelines or they cannot register their litters. Beware of backyard breeders; you don't know what you are paying for.These are the dogs that usually cost $200-$600

No and yes! We often check the market for the current pricing of this breed. We are now about the same price as most other quality AKC on the market, and ours are supreme in quality coming from fantastic champions and champion bloodlines. However there are some backyard breeders that have just one or two litters per year, these may be cheaper. Remember, you get what you pay for! Our dogs are bred for a specific market, people that want a superior quality family pet with the benefits of that look. We breed for even-tempered, highly intelligent companions with sound, athletic structure and the exquisite movement that defines the breed. We are so confident in the health of our puppies that we offer a 2-year health guarantee against genetic moderate or severe hip dysplasia.  Click here for more details. You get more for your money with a Tango puppy !!!

At Tango’s, we believe that elite performance begins in the bowl. Because our dogs are bred for the intensity of the show ring and the high-speed demands of the race track, we follow a precise, science-backed nutritional regimen. We refuse to compromise on the fuel we give our dogs, and we don't believe in nutrition or table scraps. Our foundation is built on Inukshuk Professional Dog Food. We selected Inukshuk for its exceptional nutrient density and high-energy profile, which is specifically designed to support the endurance, recovery, and muscle maintenance of active, high-performance athletes. Because this food is so highly digestible and concentrated, our dogs retain more of what they eat, resulting in superior energy levels, vibrant skin and coat health, and excellent overall physical condition. To ensure our dogs maintain a robust microbiome and peak immune function, we supplement with Royal Canin Probiotics. Digestion is the cornerstone of health; by prioritizing gut wellness, we ensure our dogs are absorbing every ounce of the premium nutrition they receive. We spare no expense when it comes to the health and vitality of our dogs. By focusing on professional-grade performance fuel and targeted digestive support, we provide our puppies with the strongest possible foundation for a long, healthy, and high-achieving life.

Quality Puppy Socialization starts at birth ~ starting with handling the puppies and getting them used to people and new positive noises and experiences. When people get our puppies they comment on how sweet they are and are not afraid of anything. This is part of the process in the early weeks of raising them to the time they go home with you. This is not your typical kennel where your puppy doesn't get picked up until he goes home with you. Along with positive exposure to new people, dogs and places your puppy will come to you well adjusted, socialized and ready to join your family!

Yes! All of our dogs complete and pass their hip, elbows, heart, eyes and genetic health testing before we breed them. Breeding a quality Australian Shepherd and Miniature American Shepherd, is really an art. You don't just grab two and start breeding them, this is irresponsible! There are many things to consider before you start breeding two dogs. Conformation, temperament, health etc, etc. If you just try

to breed any dog there are other problems that can come up. Agility and hip problems to mention a couple. This takes experience and a good eye to know what to look for in your breeding dogs. At Tango Aussie Miniature American Shepherds, we have made it our top priority to improve the quality of the Breed in our breeding practices. This process takes experience, time, exercise, premium dog food, and proper worming procedure to provide you with the best puppy possible.

A puppy with Limited AKC registration is $2500-$3500. You may contact us directly for inquiries on getting a puppy with Full AKC registration. We accept payment via Zelle, USPS Money Order, or Credit Cards to help with your purchase. Final Balance Payment is required when your puppy is 6 weeks old.

For the safety of our puppies, we do not ship our puppies in cargo.  If you need to have your puppy shipped, most airlines allow you to have your puppy fly with you in the cabin for an additional $100. We have many of our Puppy Parents that find this to be a very reasonable option.  NOTE:  Be sure to check with your airline for Puppy Age Requirements as some airlines will not allow you to ship your puppy before the age of 10 weeks. If it is a better fit for you, we are happy to hand-deliver your puppy via our loving and attentive Puppy Nanny, who will fly with your puppy to ensure safe arrival of your beautiful baby!  You pay the airfare cost + an additional $600-800 Puppy Nanny Fee.  Contact us at 941-716-7383 to discuss arrangements of flight dates and times.  :)

Most all of our puppies are sold with limited AKC Registration, however, we do permit, under some circumstances to purchase a puppy with full AKC Registration which would allow for breeding or showing of your puppy. Prices will vary depending on the type of AKC registration chosen with your puppy. Please contact us if you would like to discuss breeding rights for your new puppy.
