Where it all started....

Picture

I am the breeder who gave these puppies life. I’m the girl who gave up her social life to bring socialized and loved dogs into the arms of wonderful families. I’m the person who spent hours studying pedigrees and making crosses that will better the breed.
I pour my heart and soul into these dogs. I prayed over them before they were born. I didn’t sleep except for two hours at a time to make sure I caught their momma in labor- To be there for my dog and bring their puppies into the world. I’m the girl who pours all of my money into my kennel and very rarely has clothes decent to wear.
I’ve held them since the day they were born- studied their personalities before their eyes even opened. I cried over every puppy that failed to thrive. I held puppies as they took their first breaths and died in my hands. It happens and it’s horrible. I’ve spent weeks doctoring and loving your baby. I’ve cried over my runts- screamed and begged God to let them thrive. I’ve been there to hug new owners- to hand families their new love.

Think about the person behind a kennel. Do your research and buy from a kennel that is passionate about their dogs. To do it right- it consumes your life. I wouldn’t have it any other way.
I am Toree Watford of Charming Australian Shepherds and I loved them all first. Take care of them because they are my babies first and foremost.

I will be rough, I will hand pick families. If it’s not a good fit- I will tell you and it will not phase me. I want the best for my dogs.

That my dears- is what is important to me.

At Charming Australian Shepherds, we strive to bring you happy, healthy, quality STANDARD Australian Shepherds. Our kennel is located in the beautiful foot hills of North Carolina. We are conveniently located 30 minutes north of Charlotte.
Our puppies are raised in a loving environment. They are born in our home and are socialized, groomed and exposed to all different kinds of household stimuli. At 4 weeks they are moved into our farm facility where they become used to the sounds, smells, and animals that come along with farm life. All the while these puppies are touched, talked to, cuddled and loved every day. Our dogs come from quality breeding stock and we work very hard to find and select dogs that meet the requirement of the written AKC/ASCA standards for the breed. These dogs come from working and conformation lines, however we enjoy the best of both worlds. Our crosses produce dogs that are easy to live with and beautiful to look at. We breed for the brain of the classic Australian Shepherd.  Our pedigrees have been studied and researched and then our dogs are health tested to make sure that you aren’t just bringing home a pretty face with good papers, genetically they are sound and healthy dogs. Upon bringing your puppy home from Charming, you will receive a packet that includes their parent’s health testing information also.
Our puppies stay with us until they are at least 8 weeks of age. They will have their first puppy shots, maybe more depending on the age of the puppy when they leave us. They are wormed every two weeks and will all have fecal tests done at 6 weeks of age. This insures that the puppy you get is healthy and happy in their new home.
Although we breed strong blue eyed lines, we DO NOT guarantee eye color. This is not our main focus in our breeding program, however we do produce blue eyed dogs. Puppy’s eyes can change up until 16 weeks of age. We can give you our opinion, however opinions are not guarantees.


We offer a one year health guarantee.

**Health guarantee does not cover any parasite, internal or external, as these are common
treatable conditions in puppies & dogs and does not count as communicable disease, we do
what we can, to control parasites, but all dogs are susceptible to them.  If you purchase a
puppy you must be financially able to take the puppy to the vet and care for the puppy
at your own expense.   Warning!  Puppies are still susceptible to contagious disease although
every effort has been made to prevent this, so please do NOT allow new puppy to walk in an
area where puppies may be exposed to any communicable disease until he or she has been seen
by your vet and fully vaccinated.   You are responsible for your own vet bills.  
Puppies selected may be placed on hold (pending)as a courtesy, if deposit is not
received within 3 days the puppy may be placed as available without notice.  We accept
personal checks up to 2 weeks before shipping or pickup. No checks will be accepted at the time of pick up. We do accept all major credit cards, debit cards, PayPal and cash for your convenience.

We have a standard waiting list/ deposit list. When people decide that they would like to join the Charming Family, they are welcome to put a deposit on an upcoming litter to guarantee their puppy out of the litter. Deposit picks are to be made by 3 weeks of age. After three weeks, the litter is open to the public to select. This insures that our committed deposits are allowed the time to get exactly what they want. If the litter does not produce what the depositor would like, it can be transferred to the next litter.

We do ask that you do your research before deciding to purchase an Australian Shepherd. Please talk to us, to other breeders, and visit dog shows/breed functions to make sure that an Aussie is the dog for you. We will welcome you to our farm to meet the dogs and have play days.

We do have one major rule. You are not allowed to visit our farm on a day that you have visited another kennel. The spread of disease and germs are a very real threat to us. You can wipe out an entire breeding program with one mishap. Please come clean, unexposed to other dogs. Allowing visitors to our farm is something many other breeders refuse. It is a privilege and is subject to change at ANY time.
