Meet the breeder
I'm Leah S., the breeder behind Von Südwest German Shepherds and Mosaic Mini American Shepherds located in New Mexico. We enjoy showing our dogs, & they are our companions in every adventure. We do all we can to give our dogs & pups the best lives. We have outstanding dogs with wonderful temperaments that thrive in the ring and as our companions. Our goal is to produce puppies that can compete in a variety of venues, as well as be faithful friends to their loving families. All of our dogs are health tested. At the very minimum they have OFA hips/elbows done. We do cardiac, dentition and patellas through OFA. Some dogs will have pennhip and ratings from SV as well. We do DNA breed panels through Embark or similar laboratories. Eyes are examined by ophthalmologists (CAER).

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.
Cardiac Evaluation
Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.
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.

A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
