About Vera
Vera is a very gentle, loving, crazy little girl. We drove all the way to Tennessee to get her from another fantastic breeder. She is the perfect combination of calm in the house and then ready to work when you get out the door. Vera is AKc/ASDR registered(working on ASCA), has all her ofas done as well as genetic health panel. She has been introduced to flyball and is starting agility!
Great health testing
Multiple Drug Sensitivity (MDR1), Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI), +1 more.
Parent health testing
Breeder-Reported Testing
Great level
White Tail Australian Shepherds 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 Dysplasia
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).
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
