Rebel Soul Mini Americans: Process, Policies, and Promise
At Rebel Soul Mini Americans and Mini Aussies, we take pride in raising healthy, well-adjusted puppies. That commitment extends to our process, policies, and guarantees. From reservation to pick-up day, we guide you through every step to ensure a smooth, exciting experience. Our policies are designed to prioritize the well-being of our puppies while providing clarity and confidence for their new families. Plus, our health guarantee reflects the care, health and temperament testing we put into our breeding program. We’re dedicated to setting you and your new pup up for a lifetime of happiness together — because a Rebel Soul deserves nothing less!
Puppy Rearing and Socialization: Our puppies are raised right in our home on our farm, where they’re exposed to sheep, cats, horses, and other animals to ensure well-rounded socialization. To help each puppy find the most suitable home, they’re professionally evaluated by an animal behaviorist or dog trainer. We welcome in-person visits — just be sure to schedule in advance. Every puppy goes home with limited AKC registration and Trupanion pet insurance for added peace of mind, setting both you and your new companion up for success.
Pricing: Our Mini American Shepherd puppies, also known as Mini Australian Shepherd puppies, are priced between $2,500 to $3,500, with occasional variations. This pricing reflects the increased veterinary costs associated with providing exceptional care of our dams and sires, as we work with one of the most prominent reproductive veterinarians in the country to ensure our dogs receive the highest level of medical attention. Additionally, our breeding dogs are fed premium-quality food to support healthy, thriving litters. Given the extensive investment we make in health, care, and early training, our prices are non-negotiable. This ensures we maintain the exceptional standards we’re known for — because quality, health, and responsible breeding are worth it.
Reserving a Puppy: To reserve an available puppy from a current litter, a non-refundable $1,000 deposit is required, with the remaining balance due 5 days before pick-up or in cash at pick-up. For future litters, the first pick is reserved for Rebel Soul Minis. If you’d like early access to upcoming litters, you can join our waitlist with a non-refundable $500 fee, which is applied toward your final purchase price. Puppy picks happen after 6 weeks of age to allow for accurate temperament assessments. The waitlist fee may be forfeited if you pass on two suitable puppies or two years have passed — whichever comes first. While we’re happy to consider color preferences, we cannot guarantee a puppy based on color alone, as temperament and the right match always come first.
Going Home: Puppies are typically ready to join their new families between 9 and 12 weeks old, depending on each puppy’s individual development and readiness. We prioritize their health, socialization, and emotional well-being to ensure they’re fully prepared for this big transition. The remaining balance for your puppy is due 3 days before transportation or in cash at pick-up.
Transportation Options: We offer several safe and convenient transportation methods to help your new pup get home. If you’re flying in, we can arrange an airport meeting for an easy handoff — many families opt for same-day round-trip flights. If you’re bringing your puppy as a carry-on, airlines typically charge a $100 to $125 fee (one way). For added convenience, we also offer a Fly Nanny Service, where a trusted flight nanny personally escorts your puppy to your nearest airport. This service typically costs $750 to $1,000 within the continental US, though prices may vary depending on flight availability and the time of year. If flying isn’t ideal, we can also coordinate ground transport or arrange a meeting point for an easier drive. And of course, you’re always welcome to pick your puppy up directly from our farm — we love meeting our puppy families in person!
Pickup and Boarding Policy: We ask that all families arrange pick-up or transportation within 7 days of their puppy’s scheduled release date. If a delay extends beyond this timeframe, boarding fees will apply at $20 per day, and these fees must be paid in advance. This helps us ensure each puppy continues receiving the same high level of care and attention until they’re ready to go home with you.
Where to begin?
Every Rebel Soul puppy adoption starts with an application — and for good reason. Our top priority is ensuring each puppy and family finds the best possible match for their personality, needs, and future. The application helps us get to know you, your lifestyle, and what you’re looking for in a new companion. It’s not about first-come, first-served at Rebel Soul. It’s about finding the right fit for both you and the puppy. Read on to learn more. If you have not yet filled in an application, please follow the link to our application page.
