Available
Nitani's Peachy Keane is available to an active home. Keane is a 4 year old black tri neutered male with a tail. He is trained in agility and nose work. Keane is from health cleared parents and had his eyes cleared as a puppy. He reminds me a lot of his mother, Aria
Unfortunately, his owner had declined in health and recently passed away so Keane was returned to me.
Keane is an intense worker. He has a tremendous work ethic and is way to smart for his own good. I've enjoyed taking him to agility class. He is fast and flawless plus works at a distance. He has wonderful stopped contacts and knows his left/right commands.
Keane loves to play ball and will fetch until you are tired. He earned both his trick dog novice and intermediates titles in just two weeks. For one of his intermediate tricks, he learned to roll over in two attempts. Sometimes I think he is a mind reader:)
Keane would do best in a dog savvy home who will keep his mind and body active. Keane is a thinking, working Aussie that could take the right person to the highest competition levels. He could be an all around sport dog if given the chance. If interested in seeing a video, please email me at [email protected]

Litter Information
All Nitani puppies are from breedings determined to benefit the breed. We breed for both physical and mental soundness. Both sire and dam are certified free of hip and elbow dysplasia through OFA and free of eye defects through CERF. Mental soundness is a must in both sire and dam. The pups are raised in our home and are socialized daily. All puppies receive vaccinations and an initial eye check by a certified canine opthamologist before going to their new homes. Puppies are eligible for registration with both AKC and ASCA. All puppies are sold to qualified buyers only --we require 3 personal references-- with one of the following contracts:
Show
Puppies sold with this type of contract are suitable for showing and breeding. These pups are held on a co-ownership until they have passed their OFA and CERF clearances plus have earned one of the following titles: CH, CDX, OA or other Open performance title. These pups are sold to serious show homes only, not for breeding purposes only. The contract guarantees the health of the puppy, free of any show disqualifying faults and hereditary defects affecting its suitability for breeding. These pups are sold with full registration.
Companion
Puppies sold with this type of contract are wonderful companions and possible performance prospects, but are not for breeding or conformation showing. This contract guarantees the health of the puppy. These pups are sold with limited registration and need to be spayed or neutered by 2 years of age.

Reservations: When a reservation for a dog is placed, a $200 nonrefundable deposit is required and will be deducted from the price of the puppy. No pups will be held without a deposit. Should a breeding not produce the type (show or companion), sex or color reserved, the buyer may use the deposit towards another pup in the same litter or a puppy from a future litter.
Please understand that the careful breeding of puppies on a limited basis is not a made-to-order business. We try to be as expedient as possible in determining which puppies are show quality and which are Companion quality. Show quality is not determined by color/markings apparent at birth but by overall structure/movement. Structure and movement cannot be judged until between 6-8 weeks of age. Both Companion and Show puppies are physically and mentally sound; the differences are based on the pup's comparison to the breed standard. Only puppies determined to contribute to the betterment of the breed are sold as show quality.

All Nitani puppies are placed with a lifetime guarantee of satisfaction. We feel comfortable doing so since we place our dogs so carefully. There are three considerations that Nitani takes into account when placing a pup:
Please take time to educate yourself about Aussies before adding one to the family. Aussies are a highly intelligent and athletic breed. They do well in most homes, but not all. There are also a variety of possible genetic problems in the Australian Shepherd breed. It is in your best interest to educate yourself about them before acquiring an Aussie puppy.
- Puppy buyer's experience and capabilities with an Aussie
- The buyers desires in a dog and whether our dogs will fit that need
- If our dogs will thrive in their home, environment, and lifestyle
