Windmere Aussies
Meet the breeder
I'm Stephanie W., the breeder behind Windmere Aussies located in Mexico, NY. Our goal is to produce puppies that are capable of participating in sports and conformation, but that are also happy to be companionable, entertaining house dogs that enjoy quieter moments as well. We want our pups to be adaptable and thrive with their families wherever they are.
Q. & A. with Stephanie
What makes your program special?
I only breed a litter of puppies when I am looking for my next show dog. Both parents must pass all health qualifications, be Champions in either AKC or ASCA, preferably both as well have temperaments that would produce wonderful companions for families to enjoy.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black and blue merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Eye Examination (rDVM, not registered with OFA), Eye Certification (CAER, registered with OFA)
Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.
Dentition
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.
Collie Eye Anomaly (CEA), PawPrint Genetic Panel (Breed Specific), DNA Disease Panel, Multiple Drug Sensitivity (MDR1)
