Q. & A. with Sarah

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We love the Australian Shepherd breed. Our dogs have brought us so much joy and happiness that we wanted to give back to them by producing the highest quality dogs and providing them a wonderful life with loving families. It would be our pleasure to introduce your family to your next Aussie or Aussiedoodle puppy!

  • What makes your program special?

    Our dogs make amazing additions to families. Our girl loves to look after our young children, and will often be following them around and making sure they are okay. We pay careful attention to personality and temperament when we breed, as well as health and genetics. We have high expectations for our puppies and strive to place each puppy in an enriching and loving home!

  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our Miniature Australian Shepherd puppies include tiny and miniature sizes. Aussiedoodle puppies include toy and mini sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.

Breeder-Reported Testing

Great level

Lazy T9 Ranch reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Aussiedoodles.

    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.

  • Eye Certification (CAER, registered with OFA)

    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

    Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.

  • Multiple Drug Sensitivity (MDR1), PRA, Rod-Cone Degeneration (PRA-prcd)

    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).
