| My husband and I share our log cabin with five minis. All of our fur kids sleep indoors, have a fenced 1/4 acre to play in, a secure run and small kennel. They have access to our home all of the time. I am a retired veterinary surgical assistant. This training gives me the skill to give my dogs the best care possible. I have had the good fortune to be able to work with aussies for over 40 years. I have shown in conformation only recently. In the beginning I thought that conformation was nothing more than a beauty contest. I was very wrong. Correct physical structure is what makes a healthy animal. Remove that, you end up with a pet who can't perform what the breed was intended to do. A dogs bad structure can impact its health; poor alignment of hips, legs, even a bad temperament will result in an unhealthy companion. My breeding adults have to pass several health screenings. A hip x-ray is done and interpreted by OFA, eyes are checked annually by a canine opthalmologist, a genetic test MDR-1 is done to determine any drug sensitivity and a genetic PRA screening. In the near future I will also include patellas during the OFA. I breed puppies on a limited basis. My females have proper prenatal and postnatal care. Each puppy is provided with all the socialization it needs so that it is a well rounded happy puppy. I provide all the necessary vaccines/wormings so that they are protected before heading off to their new homes. I welcome anyone who wants to visit my home and see my great dogs. Please just give me a call, I would be delighted to meet you. If I can be of any help to you or answer any questions feel free to ask. If I am unable to provide you with the puppy of your dream,I will help you to locate a breeder who can. Please think about adopting a pet from a local shelter. call or e-mail Susie & Marvin Janes 575-829-3028 or e-mail mandermom1@yahoo.com |
