Q. & A. with Riley
What makes your program special?
We health test our dogs to make sure we are always bettering the breed. We do OFA testing on Hips and Elbows. Puppies receive ENS (Early Neurological Stimulation) from 3 days of age and are handled and cared for daily. We are have a very small breeding program that allows us to give all the attention that we need to our dogs and puppies.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

Good level
R Heart Mini 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 Australian Shepherds.

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.
DNA Disease Panel, Multiple Drug Sensitivity (MDR1), PRA, Rod-Cone Degeneration (PRA-prcd), Hereditary (Juvenile) Cataracts (HC; JC)
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).
