Q. & A. with Leslie
Why did you start breeding?
My parents raised Australian Shepards when I was little. I have always loved the breed and love having the dogs around with the kids. I think it helps my children learn responsibility. My oldest two sons are using our Breeding program as part of their FFA SAE.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include blue merle, black tri-color, and red tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Leslie's Australian Shepherds 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 Australian Shepherds.
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).
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
