Illusion Miniature Australian Shepherds

Illusion mini aussies make a wonderful, loving, pet. Miniature Australian Shepherds also are known as the North American Miniature Australian Shepherd. An Ideal mini aussie has the same characteristics of the Australian shepherd, just in a smaller package. They are smart, active, loving, and devoted to their families. They are easily trained, and can do a variety of canine sports, including obediance, flyball, and agility.

All of our dogs, are raised in my home. I do not have a kennel. All of the breeding dogs have there eyes and hips checked. Puppies are eligible to registration at MASCA, NSDR, and/or NAMASCUSA. I strive the breed only healthy, correct, loyal, and intelligent dogs. Spirited enough to compete in any canine sport.

It has come to my attention, that there are a few breeders that have popped up recently. Please be aware that not all breeders are equal. Price should not be your first consideration, quality and health should be first and foremost. A cheap puppy whos parents didn't not have the proper health testing could cost you thousands of dollars later. There are also some health problems that can arise later in a Mini Aussies life, such as blindness from PRA. We are lucky enough to now have DNA tests for alot of health problems found in all breeds of dogs.

Here are some questions that are importand to ask, my anwsers are under the question. Any breeder you talk to should have the same anwsers, or beware of the potential health problems that could arise. Alot of breeders will say "I have never had a problem so I don't test." This is not a good reason. Health problems can arise anytime, even people can drop dead of a heart attack, and never show a symptom.

Q1. Do you do genetic health testing, and if so what tests>

A1. Yes I health test, Eye CERF yearly, OFA hips after 2yrs, DNA for all possible health problems including PRA and MDR-1.

Q2. What kind of health guarantee do you provide on your puppies?

A2. I provide a lifetime guarantee on my puppies. no strings attached.

Q3 What if I don't want to give up my puppy after a problem has been found?

A3. If a genetic problem is found, and you do not want to give up your new baby. I will pay your vet for meds, surgery, or other needs required of defect up to your purchase price. (try to find another breeder who will do that.)

You should not be unhappy with your purchase, and you should have aquired a life long friend, not a life long headache. Yes it means paying a higher price, but in the end you puppies health is worth it.
