When choosing my Foundation dogs, I considered carefully: Health, temperament, drive, structure, workability and conformation. My dogs share my home, and they are loved dearly. I train them myself, and spend most of my time with my dogs. Because I expect them to do well in performance rings and in conformation, it is very important to me that they have the structure that allows them to be successful, the talent to perform, and health that will keep them with me for as long as possible. Mackland dogs are only bred after hip scores of A or B are confirmed, clear elbows, DNA eye results that are guaranteed free of hereditary conditions. Shetland Sheepdogs are also cleared of Collie Eye Anomaly, Progressive Retinal Atrophy (CNGA1), Ivermectin Sensitivity MDR1, Degenerative Myleopathy, Von Willebrands Disease Type III, Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia, Gallbladder Mucoele Formation & Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Phosphatase Deficiency. Some new tests are being added all the time, and we try and keep up with them as far as we can! I believe that you can "have it all" with careful planning.

Border Collies Bred by Mackland • Shelties Bred by Mackland MY STORY "Lets not measure a breeder's success by the amount of winnings their dog does in the show ring, but by the number of dogs that stay with the family that purchased them as a puppy and that die in the arms of the same family many years later. In that case, we have three winners, the breeder, the family and most importantly, the dog." - unknown Puppy Testing HOME |
