"Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole"



As a first-time buyer from a breeder, I was initially skeptical about purchasing a puppy I found on the internet. However, after expressing my concerns to Mrs. Barnes, she quickly put them to rest by calling me personally regarding the legitimacy of Gallant Cove Aussies and made me confident about the process. Although we discovered them online, we were welcomed to come see the whole litter and ended up choosing the same puppy we originally wanted. Mrs. Barnes let me, my husband, and our two children spend an ample amount of time with the litter and was extremely kind and friendly. The condition of the kennels was great—clean, spacious, and organized.
When it was time for us to pick up our Mak at eight weeks, they were not only quick to meet us (even though it was a few days before we planned), but they also gave us everything we needed in order to follow up with our veterinarian and to help Mak have an easy transition. We couldn’t have asked for a more informed, experienced, and pleasant breeder to do business with. There was never any doubt as to what needed to be done next, which was significantly important to me because he is my first puppy.
Mak is abundantly healthy, energetic, and remarkably intelligent for a puppy. I feel that this is fully due to the attentiveness and dedication of the Barnes family. They’ve also followed through with us, ensuring that we were up-to-date with his vaccinations, as well as regarding his overall well-being and even to wish us happy holidays. He is our first Australian Shepherd, and I feel like we will definitely be returning customers!

Choosing my fur-baby from Gallant Cove Aussies was the best decision I have made. He is everything I have wanted and more. He is such a super sweet puppy and so smart already! Thank you Mrs. Barnes for all the help, advice and arrangements. Best customer service and the most beautiful dogs! I am so so glad I decided to purchase my Australian Shepard from y'all. I would recommend Gallant Cove to anyone looking for an Aussie. 5/5 best overall experience!! Thank you again!!!

Hello!
First
of all, Tris is doing absolutely wonderful. I love her so much. She is
the happiest dog I have ever seen. So silly and has so much personality.
She is so friendly to people and dogs. Plus she is just stunning! I
will get some good pics of her and get them to you.
Is your Ren puppy still available? Oh my goodness he is gorgeous. Are his eyes blue?
Thank you and hope you and all your furbabies are doing great!

Hello-Lhotse is turning into quite the dashing young dog-just got back from a trip down in southern Utah and of course the dogs loved it and actually turned quite pink as he rolled around in the red rock sand. Hope you are all well at Gallant Cove.....

I hope you and your family are doing well and staying cool. I’ve seen your new puppies - what cuties!
I thought you might like to see Beau at 6-1/2 months old.
He loves water and has become an accomplished kayak dog. He gets excited when we put his doggie vest on because he knows we’re going for our morning kayak ride. He amazes people by how well he sits between us in the kayak (which would tip over very easily if he wasn’t still) and gets lots of compliments. He sits or lies down with a big smile on his face as we go for our morning ride. He knows we always stop for a swim and he absolutely LOVES swimming and playing fetch in the water!
I know he doesn’t need a life vest but those handles are great for lifting a 50+ pound dog into the kayak after a swim. Sometimes he rings the bells at the door, then nudges his doggie-vest hanging on the back porch and looks back at us with those beautiful eyes, telling us plain-as-day that it’s time for our kayak ride.
He’s very well-behaved, especially for a 6-month-old puppy, and is so much fun. He knows all his toys by name and, amazingly, can bring us the one we ask for. He’s very mellow, isn’t fearful of loud noises or thunder, and travels well. He’s very friendly with everyone and very affectionate.
Beau is a wonderful companion for us and we are so happy he is part of our family. We are very happy with our Gallant Cove Aussie and know his calm demeanor comes from his breeding. We are aware that many Aussies would not be happy living as a companion dog and have a strong need to herd and work. We are thankful that we found such a loving, affectionate, beautiful dog that fits us to a ’T’. He seems to be as happy with us as we are with him so all is well! Thanks so much, Karen & Charlie from Niceville, Florida


Vanneicia,
I could never express to you how much we adore Bella! She is absolutely brilliant, athletic, sweet, calm, playful and loving. She loves to play Frisbee and leaps up like a rocket almost never missing, no matter how bad I throw it. She also loves to take walks, and we constantly get stopped by people wanting to pet her and tell me what a beautiful dog I have. She is so good with my daughter and helps me put her to bed every night waiting patiently and quietly while getting her off to sleep, and she knows when to wake her up in the morning when it is time for school by leaping into the bed and snuggling until she is ready to wake up. She also is a big help with carpool and all the kids love it when she rides to pick up Madison from school. She is so good with our other two dogs and loves to play with them, but she is very careful not to play too rough especially with the Morkie who has become her best friend. Thank you for adding such an amazing addition to our family!

Vannieca was friendly, knowledgeable, and helped us in our journey. We would recommend purchasing a puppy from her any day and will look to her again in the years to come

This evening we sat on the back porch with him, watching the sunset as we always do, and were amazed at how smart he was in figuring out how to back out underneath the stools when his leash got snagged. He's smart! Thanks, again, for sharing your puppy with us.
We'll keep in touch.
