Meet the breeder

I'm Megan O., the breeder behind Gardner Canyon Kennels located in Sonoita, AZ. I am a small Aussie breeding program. Keeping my program small allows me to give each breeding the time and attention it deserves. I want to make sure I am doing everything correctly. I take pride in my puppies and want to make sure I am doing everything in my power to ensure they're happy and healthy.

Q. & A. with Megan

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I began breeding because I was so proud of my dogs. I wanted to share their great qualities with others.
  • What makes your program special?

    My program is special because it is small. I am able to give each breeding my full attention and full heart.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include black, red merle, blue merle, and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Great level

    Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.

  • Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)

    Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.

  • Collie Eye Anomaly (CEA), Degenerative Myelopathy (DM; SOD1A), PRA, Rod-Cone Degeneration (PRA-prcd), Multiple Drug Sensitivity (MDR1)

    Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
