WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT
Our puppies are raised to be enrichment seekers, they enjoy challenges & take on life as true thinkers. Our owners need to be committed to continuing their enrichment seeking education & stimulation that has been lovingly given to them from birth.
​
Bloodlines & genetics are the first building blocks to an awesome dog; our bitches & dogs are DNA tested to ensure strong genes are passed on to their progeny setting them up for physical health. Most genetic diseases can be avoided when breeders are diligent.
Temperament is essential! Our dogs are carefully bred to be family-friendly & well-mannered companions, so we prioritize these traits when selecting breeding pairs.
​
It's our aim to give each pup robust genes and raise them from birth with age-appropriate enrichment & social stimulation through the Puppy Culture program. This program prepares them to be enthusiastic learners and more emotionally stable dogs.
​
Our puppies begin their journey with the Puppy Culture program; a comprehensive science-based training & socialization system designed to give puppies the best possible start in life. It begins during the critical developmental period, from birth to 10 weeks of age, when puppies are most impressionable & open to learning. The program includes structured activities like early neurological stimulation, socialisation with people & other animals, problem-solving exercises, and exposure to various sights, sounds, & environments. By using Puppy Culture, we ensure that our puppies are not only physically healthy but also mentally & emotionally well-prepared for their future homes.
​
The importance of the Puppy Culture program lies in its ability to shape confident, resilient, & well-mannered dogs. Puppies raised with this program tend to be better equipped to handle stress, adapt to new situations, & build strong bonds with their families. It also helps prevent common behavioral issues, such as fear & anxiety, by teaching puppies how to navigate the world with confidence. The positive effects of the program include improved socialisation, enhanced trainability, & a stronger foundation for a lifetime of positive behaviors, making it an invaluable tool for responsible breeders & loving pet owners alike.
​
At 7 weeks of age, we conduct temperament testing for our puppies to make informed matches with families. This is also the time when families are given the opportunity to choose their puppy.
Nutrition is vital for the development both physically & mentally. Omega oils & probiotics are given to our bitches all the way through from pre-conception to postnatal to help grow both body & minds of our precious pups. We follow a BARF diet with all of our dogs. We expect our owners to educate themselves on the effects of diet & nutrition. This not only ensures a healthy dog, but it can also help to save you money at the vet's long term.
Exercise & mental health comes easy when your backyard is Sixty Acres! Our dogs have large yards & are walked (ran!) daily, they have opportunity to swim in our dams & visit all manner of creatures on our farm. Our owners are carefully chosen to ensure our pups continue to receive enough exercise & mental stimulation to ensure they remain fit & healthy for their entire lives.
​
Our care doesn't end when the pups go home. We make ourselves available to help you educate yourselves, trouble-shoot & share your love for your companion. We have a private FaceBook group for our puppy families; we love seeing them grow & develop.
We love how our community cheers each other on & shares their knowledge.
We are with you every step of the way!

The Frederick Family, Vic
Highly recommend Bek and the team at Sixty Acres. We were lucky enough to bring home a pup a couple of years ago and he became one of our family overnight. Sullivan came to us having been clearly well cared for - medically, behaviourally & socially. He was also clearly well loved!! Bek was great at communicating with us and no question was too small or silly. If you’re hoping to find a breeder with integrity & high quality pups look no further than Sixty Acres
The Hall Family, Vic
Bek and her family raise wonderful, well adjusted and calm pups. The effort, care and smarts she brings to raising her dogs is obvious in how settled the pups are when they come home. We have one of her Jack Russell's and he is divine. Happy, calm (for a JR!) and just the best little addition to our family." A thanks too again for looking after Maxxy, it was great for us knowing he was back with his family and having a ball!
The Rees Family, Vic
Being somewhat nervous about getting a puppy, I couldn’t be more delighted with the care and support that Bek & Leigh at Sixty Acres has provided. Visiting the puppies and watching the attentive way Bek & Leigh tended to them was incredible. This is a true family business. The diligence in training, nurture and personal communication has been beyond anything I expected. I know we have been matched with the perfect puppy and our whole family is beyond excited with our new family member. I highly recommend Sixty Acres.
