Breeder-Reported Testing

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.

    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

    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).

    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.

    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.
