Please Note: There are no litters planned until at least late 2023 at this very early stage.

BlaznHot Aussies has bloodlines from some incredible dogs in America & Australia. I aspire to breed Australian Shepherds that conform closely to the breed standard, especially in regards to structural soundness for longevity. I plan to be very selective about what I breed - all parents must be excellent examples of the Australian Shepherd and proven to have temperaments that make these dogs a pleasure to love & own.
One of my biggest priorities before breeding a litter is health. All breeding stock must not only be a sound, correct example of the breed - they need to be healthy, passing Hip & Elbow scores as well as undergoing DNA testing for diseases that can affect the breed, including MDR1 (Multi-Drug Resistance 1 - Ivermectin Sensitivity), CEA (Collie Eye Anomaly), DM (Degenerative Myelopathy), PRCD (Progressive Rod Cone Degeneration) & HC (Hereditary Cataracts). I am always learning as much as I can about potential health issues in the breed & the ways we can produce the healthiest dogs possible without compromising the size of the gene pool.
