Who we are and which breeds we raise
If you searched for by Bauer dog kennel or MAS Aussie by Bauer, you have probably already seen our name—in a recommendation, an ad, or social media. Below is a calm walkthrough without “best in the world” claims: who we are, which breeds we work with in Nizhny Novgorod, how litters are structured, and what matters to us in relationships with families after the puppy goes home. This is not a copy of the homepage: here you get structure and meaning so you can align expectations with reality and move on to current litters or contacts when you are ready.
We work under the brand MAS Aussie by Bauer: the kennel raises Australian Shepherds, Miniature American Shepherds (MAS), and Teddy Poodles. Three breeds in one team does not mean “the same puppy in different sizes”—different jobs, different families, different expectations; we breed what we can support properly. A detailed Aussie vs MAS comparison is in a separate article: MAS vs Australian Shepherd (Russian). Terms like RKF, litter, and metrika in ads are explained in the buyer’s glossary (Russian).
Why Teddy Poodle lives next to herding breeds
Teddy Poodle is a separate line with a different rhythm and different owner questions. It is not a “substitute MAS” for people who want a “mini,” and not a competitor to Aussies on activity: it is related breeds under one kennel roof, not mixing temperaments into one advertising sentence. If you are choosing between “mini” and city-apartment life—honest day-to-day without rose-tinted glasses—see mini Aussie in the city (Russian). Extra Teddy channels are in the site footer together with the kennel’s main social links.
Three directions—who should read what first (in brief)
| Breed | Think about first | Where to go deeper on the site |
|---|---|---|
| Australian Shepherd | Activity, training, working mind and movement. | Our dogs, breed comparison, articles on price and health. |
| MAS (“mini Aussie”) | “Mini” size is not a couch toy: herding background and real adult-level needs. | MAS vs Aussie (Russian), city life article. |
| Teddy Poodle | Different care and communication; grooming and contact matter. | Teddy social links in the footer; start with the pre-reservation checklist (Russian). |
How litters and socialization work
For us a litter is not a “sales season” but a cycle of preparing a puppy for family life: parent health, transparent documents and tests, clear agreements before reservation and payment. RKF paperwork and payment steps are in the RKF documents checklist (Russian); MDR1, eyes, and hips for buyers—in the health-tests article (Russian), without a lecture aimed at competitor breeders.
We do not promise a “perfectly trained puppy by 8 weeks”: by then what matters is a base of contact with people and routine, not show-level obedience. After that—your family’s work and schedule; we help you orient in early questions but we do not replace you in daily training.
Between litters, time goes to dam recovery, breeding plans, veterinary follow-up, and line work: these are not “empty months,” but also not a reason to demand a puppy “yesterday” if the litter calendar does not match your vacation. Dates and terms are fixed in messages and contract—not vague “we’ll see.”
Socialization: what it means in practice
In practice, socialization means calm exposure to noise, handling, feeding on schedule, and vet contact where appropriate for age. The boundary: the kennel sets the start and describes what is done; the family continues in their city and home. If you expect a “zero-effort puppy,” read the pre-reservation checklist (Russian) and 8 signs of a serious kennel (Russian): those are external criteria; here is our way of working.
What matters to us in relationships with families
We care about clarity and respect for both sides’ time: you understand early what is included in price and support, and we state boundaries honestly. Why prices differ—without a guessing game—is covered here: what goes into an Aussie puppy price (Russian).
After purchase: staying in touch and questions
What usually is included: orientation on food and routine in the first days, answers to organizational questions about the contract and documents, reasonable help finding information if wording confuses you. What is not included: “treatment by chat” or replacing your veterinarian. For health—your vet and visit plan; for parent testing programs and what to ask before the deal—health tests material (Russian).
We do not fabricate online reviews or ask for template “five stars.” If hearing real experience matters, a sensible path is to ask in messages and see how the kennel answers uncomfortable topics before money changes hands.
Principles in a nutshell (a guide, not dogma)
Transparency—what the ad and contract promise align in meaning. Documents—a clear package per club and litter rules. Health—questions to the parent program without scare tactics. Contact—reasonable after sale, without pretending there is a 24/7 “emergency chat.”
If something in messages does not sound right—ask follow-up questions before attacking; sometimes words sync expectations more easily than later arguing from memory.
How to reach us and see puppies
Current litters and terms are in the puppies catalog. Parents, lines, and kennel dogs are under our dogs. For a specific litter or region—use contacts: a short note (city, experience, Aussie or MAS) gets a concrete reply faster.
News, photos, and short notes are on social media: Telegram—kennel channel, Instagram Aussie / MAS. Teddy has separate channels; links are in the footer next to the main ones.
If you are not local
We work with families from different regions: what matters are clear agreements on puppy handover and documents in advance—not last-minute improvisation. General criteria for choosing a MAS kennel in Russia and logistics are in this article (Russian). It is not a universal “how it must be for everyone,” but a frame of questions worth aligning in messages.
Short FAQ about the by Bauer kennel
Is this an “official” text? Yes: this page answers a brand-style query for by Bauer dog kennel in a structured way; legal details of a deal always live in the contract and messages for a specific litter.
Do you only sell puppies or also “support”? We breed and place puppies in families; support means an adult conversation about boundaries, not an endless chat instead of a vet. If you want “like everyone on the internet” without your city and vet—we will say honestly where that is outside the scope.
Can we visit before reserving? Depends on litter schedule and biosecurity; agree in messages in advance and do not demand “any day without discussion”—that is fair for you and for the dogs.
Why herding breeds and Teddy in one kennel? Because these are different directions of one team’s work, not an attempt to sell “any breed on demand.” Breed choice is yours; our job is not to blur expectations in one paragraph.
