I'm Phillip W., the breeder behind Work 'n' Ranch Aussies LLC located in Silsbee, TX. Our dogs are bred for work or play, with lots of socialization. They have the confidence and temperament to be well-rounded dogs. We believe that physical/mental health is the number one priority for our breeding program. All of our dogs are health checked dewormed and vaccinated by our vet before they go to their forever home.

Breeder-Reported Testing
Good level
Work 'n' Ranch Aussies LLC 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.
Multiple Drug Sensitivity (MDR1), 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.
