Meet the Parents – Mini Aussie Parents Health Tested
We believe you should know exactly who is behind every puppy. All of our mini aussie parents health tested and live with us as family members. On this page we introduce the dogs currently used in our program and share their health clearances openly.
Why Mini Aussie Parents Health Tested Matters
Every breeding decision starts with health. All of our mini aussie parents health tested through:
- OFA or PennHIP evaluations for hips and elbows
- Annual CAER eye certification
- A complete DNA panel that includes MDR1, PRA-PRCD, HC, CEA, DM, and other relevant conditions
We only breed dogs that score well on structure, temperament, and these health tests. Results are available to every family before they reserve a puppy.

How We Choose Pairings
We look at more than just health clearances. We also consider structure, temperament, energy level, and how the two dogs complement each other. The goal is to produce puppies that are healthy, well-balanced, and suited for real family life.
Because our mini aussie parents health tested and live with us every day, we know their personalities deeply. That knowledge helps us make better matching decisions for both the puppies and the families who will welcome them.
Transparency Is Important to Us
We do not hide health information. When you are seriously interested in a puppy, we will send the full clearances for the specific parents of that litter. You are also welcome to ask questions about any of the dogs listed on this page.
You can read more about our overall approach on the About Us page and review the coverage we stand behind on our Health Guarantee page.
For official information about canine health testing standards, you can also visit the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA).
We update this page whenever we add or retire a breeding dog so the information stays current. If you have any questions about our mini aussie parents health tested or would like more photos and videos of a specific dog, just reach out. We’re always happy to share what we know and help you feel confident about the dogs behind your future puppy.
Want to Know More About a Specific Litter?
If you see a puppy you like, just ask. We are happy to tell you exactly which sire and dam produced that litter and share additional photos, videos, and the complete health packet.
Raising a small number of carefully planned litters each year allows us to stay hands-on with every dog. That is the standard we hold ourselves to with all of our mini aussie parents health tested and every puppy that leaves our home.
