Meet the breeder

I'm Tina W., the breeder behind MarLoWin Aussies located in Philpot, KY. I am not a big breeder and I do take the health and care of my Aussies very seriously. Our breeding adults are all tested for PRA-PRCD, MDR1, HC, DM, and CEA-CH. I have preliminary checks of patellas and at two years we have OFA testing done on elbows, patellas and hips.

Q. & A. with Tina

Why did you start breeding?
Our first Miniature Australian Shepherd was named Marlow. My Kennel name is a combination of Marlow and my last name Winston. When I purchased my first Aussie I had no intention of becoming a breeder. That quickly changed when I fell in love with all the aspects of the breed. Aussies are like potato chips and you cannot stop at one.
What makes your program special?
Each of our dogs has brought so much happiness to us throughout their lives. We want to do our part to produce wonderful, healthy dogs that can bring other people joy as well, and we strive to provide each of our puppies with loving homes where they can live happy lives.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Miniature Australian Shepherd puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Miniature American Shepherd puppies include black, red merle, and blue merle. Miniature Australian Shepherd puppies are red merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Breeder-Reported Testing

Great level

MarLoWin Aussies 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 Miniature American Shepherds.

Hip Dysplasia
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.
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.
Hyperuricosuria (HUU), Multiple Drug Sensitivity (MDR1), Degenerative Myelopathy (DM; SOD1A), 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).
