Great level

Raybell Ridge Farm 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.

  • 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

    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).

    Thank you Colleen and family for a great “Puppy Homecoming!” Millie was so well cared for and nurtured during her early weeks of life. She is busy exploring, meeting our family, and getting used to her new home. Her wonderful early socialization at Raybell Farms is evident in how comfortable she is with all of the people she is getting to know. Millie even greeted our neighborhood cat with a sweet nose touch. We can’t wait to watch her grow and learn with us. Thanks, Colleen, for answering our questions so promptly and always being ready to help in our journey with Millie. She’s a wonderful pup and just perfect!

    I got my spunky aussie puppy Winnie (Girl 3 Blue Merle) from Colleen and her family this last summer and the experience was so great! Winnie came home potty and crate trained with no health concerns. Her temperament is lovely and she has been a wonderful adventure buddy. If you are planning to get an aussie i highly recommend Colleen. She is knowledgeable, friendly and cares so much for her dogs and their puppies. She even allowed Winnie to board for a bit while I was helping out with a family situation that prevented me from picking her up at exactly 8 weeks. On top of that I was allowed to go meet Winnie and visit a few times before the pickup date! Overall I don’t think this experience couldnt have gone better and if I ever get another aussie I will be going back to Raybell Ridge Farm! Winnie is such a fun loving and healthy puppy with the perfect temperament!!

    Colleen was incredibly helpful and communicative throughout the whole process. She made it so easy and stress-free. Throughout the process, I could feel how much love and care she puts into her passion. She seems incredibly dedicated to helping the puppies find good, loving homes :) I'm so happy with my puppy. I'm truly grateful for how smoothly and comfortable everything was.

    Colleen was a dream to work with and was quick to respond to our questions. Our situation was a bit unique as we needed to fly into Portland to receive our puppy. Colleen was able to meet me at the airport and prepare all the proper documentation so that way we were able to fly back to Alaska without any issues. We were able to receive lots of updates and photos about puppy prior to her being ready to come home. Our puppy is 11 months old now and she is such a great dog! She’s smart, healthy, and has been so easy to train. I would highly recommend Colleen and her family to anyone looking to add a quality dog to their family.

    It was truly a pleasure to find Colleen, Moses and the other pups. Colleen kept in touch and provided updates on the litter. I had the chance to visit the farm and you could immediately tell how close the dogs were with the family and all the care given to the puppies. It made the process of bringing Moses to his new home easier. Now at roughly six months, he’s been a healthy and very smart puppy. So happy to have him as a part of the family.
