Vigilance Against Disease: Why Laudrick Aussies is a "Closed" Kennel

Laudrick Aussies takes great care in protecting puppies against canine illness and that is why we are a "closed" kennel at present. Of course, no dog lover would intentionally harm a puppy, but many owners may not realize how easy it is to unintentionally carry life-threatening canine viruses or parasites to their puppy. For example: Parvo.

The Threat of Canine Viruses

Canine Parvovirus (Parvo) is one of the many deadly illnesses that can affect puppies. This highly contagious virus can spread rapidly through direct contact or contaminated environments and even come in on shoes that have been in infected environments.

To understand how easily Parvo spreads and its symptoms, please review the following graphics.

Protecting Your Puppy

At Laudrick, we follow these guidelines in order to protect your puppy in our home. After your pup comes to your home, we recommend these for the safety and protection of your puppy as it’s crucial to stay vigilant. Follow these guidelines to safeguard your furry friend:

• Avoid High-Risk Areas: Be cautious in places where unknown dogs may have been, such as dog parks and pet stores.

• Schedule Immunizations: Regular vaccinations are essential. Make sure to follow your veterinarian's recommended schedule.

Visiting Laudrick Miniature Australian Shepherds

We understand that new puppy parents are eager to visit their pups in person. However, to ensure the safety of our dogs, puppies, and their families, we do not allow farm visits. We do have plans for a puppy visitation cabin at the front of our property that is strictly for puppy visits, but that is a future addition...

Staying Connected

We do want you to be part of your puppy's growth and development. Here’s how we keep you connected:

• Online Video Chats: Enjoy virtual visits with your puppy through scheduled video calls.

• YouTube Videos and Photos: We regularly update our YouTube channel and share photos so you can watch your puppy grow.

• Social Media and Website: Follow us on Facebook and visit our website for updates and references.

We are licensed and inspected, ensuring the highest standards of care for our dogs. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in keeping our puppies safe.
