Q. & A. with Lily
Why did you start breeding?
I've always wanted to do this. Nature is so amazing and I love watching these little creatures grown into full fledged dogs with personalities. Aussies are one of my favorite breeds, and I'm a firm believer in keeping healthy lines going.
I love my dog, and the joy she brings. I want to bring that joy to others.
What makes your program special?
Here at SHP we don't focus on the color of the dog, though we do breed for all colors. We put a focus on finding the right personality for you, your lifestyle, and your preference.
We believe in trying to find the right home for our pups.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are black tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

About Adi
Adi is a fun, active member of our family. Whether it's cuddling us on the couch or going for a hike, this dog is happy to do anything with us. She's been an amazing momma and just a joy in our life.
Adi loves jumping for Frisbees, learning new tricks, and snuggly. She loves small kids and is so gentle with them. She loves cats, though does not quite understand that not all cats like her.
Adi is genetically clear except for one copy of DM and MDR1. She is 41 lbs, 23 inches tall and comes from show lines. OFAs on elbow/hips are normal/good.

Breeder-Reported Testing
Great level
Sage House Pups 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, 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).
