About Mabel
Mabel is my stunning blue merle Australian Shepherd with a kind heart and a sharp mind. She holds both her AKC Rally Novice title and Canine Good Citizen title, and has consistently done well in 4-H competitions, where she has competed in a variety of events and excelled every time. Mabel comes from a champion bloodline and is dual registered with both the AKC and ASCA. She has passed her full panel genetic health testing and has had her OFA-certified hips and elbows evaluated as good.
Great health testing
Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI), Hip Dysplasia Finals (OFA, PennHIP, BVA, SV, FCI).
Parent health testing
Great level
Prairie Paws 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.
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.
DNA Disease Panel, 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).
