Parent dogs
Heiway, mom
Australian Koolie
About Heiway
This girl has energy for days, she’s high energy in the home so not ideal for everyone. However, she generally works at a steady and tempered search pace. She loves toys and food but food takes the cake if she has choice. If not doing search work, she would excel at herding, frisbee and I believe she would love dock diving.

Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.
Patellar Luxation

A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
