We offer a one year health guarantee which states that you are
buying a sound puppy free of genetic defects. It covers eyes, hips,
and any other inherited problem which would impact the puppy's
lifespan or ability to be a great pet.
Aussies, like many herding breeds and other breeds as well, can inherit a
mutant gene which predisposes them to toxicity to certain drugs, i.e.,
ivermectin (wormer,) Immodium(antidiarrheal,) and acepromazine
(tranquilizer,) among others. These drugs can pose serious risk to dogs
who possess the mutation. Please read up on the "MDR1 mutation" on the
WSU Veterinary College website. ALL OF OUR DOGS ARE TESTED AND ARE NORMAL/NORMAL FOR MDR1.
It is impossible to guarantee adult size. We can project adult size
based on birth weight and weight at time of sale, but it is an
educated guess!
