Our Breeding Practices
Behaviour and socialisation
My whole family is involved with the pups and they have interaction with adults, children and other adult dogs. They stay inside the whelping area for 3-4 weeks and then they begin to spend some time outside which is supervised. Usually, this is between 4-6 weeks. They begin to be desensitised to sounds indoorsโฆ
Health
Breeding dogs are DNA tested. The puppies are microchipped, vaccinated, wormed and come with a health guarantee. All of our pups are checked by our local vet at 6 weeks.
Home environment
We live on a dairy farm so plenty of sounds and new smells.. We have safe secured fenced areas for our dog's and puppies.. The whelping cabin is temperature controlled with heat lamps and is air conditioned when it's hot..
Included with our puppies
Puppy pack: - Information pack - Mix of toys - Blanket - Harness and Lead - Blackhawk Puppy Pack - Vaccination Schedule - Microchipping - Worming schedule - Personalised puppy booklet (parents' information, photos of the litter/parents, info on the breed)
Health Tests
Core Tests(2/3)
Amaroo-Amalee Park Border Collies conducts 2 out of 3 core health tests which RightPaw believe are most important to conduct for the Border Collie.
CEA
Genetic Test
Collie Eye Anomaly (CEA), also known as โChoroidal Hypoplasiaโ (CH), is a genetic diseaseโฆ
PLL
Genetic Test
Primary Lens Luxation (PLL) is a genetic cause of blindness found in dogs, particularly affectingโฆ
Additional Tests
Amaroo-Amalee Park Border Collies conducts 11 additional tests available for the Border Collie.
Physical Test
Inherited deafness is common in specific breeds such as Dalmatians and Bull Terriers. Merle coat patterns and white coat colour can also be linked to deafness. It is recommended breeders of at-risk breeds or coat colours have the puppies checked with a Brainstem Auditory Evoked Response (BAER) test at around 6 weeks old, before they go to new homes.
Genetic Test
This a genetic cause of cobalamin malabsorption found in Border Collies. Affected dogs cannot absorb Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) from the gut and therefore experience a range of gastrointestinal disease. There is a DNA test available to identify whether a breeding dog is carrying this condition.
Genetic Test
This condition mainly affects Newfoundlands although other breeds can be affected. It is a genetic condition which results in the production of kidney and bladder stones. There is a DNA test available to confirm that breeding dogs are not carrying this condition.
Genetic Test
This is a disease affecting the spinal cord of older dogs, initially causing wobbliness and eventually hindlimb paralysis. It can affect a wide range of breeds. There is now a DNA test that can indicated if a breeding dog is carrying this disease.
Genetic Test
Goniodysgenesis is a genetic cause of โglaucomaโ, or increased pressure in the eye. Untreated glaucoma can result in eye pain and blindness. There is a DNA test available to identify whether a breeding dog is carrying this genetic cause of glaucoma.
Genetic Test
The MDR-1 gene (Multi-drug Resistance Gene 1) is responsible for producing proteins that protect the brain from harmful chemicals. Some breeds have a mutation in this gene resulting in them being dangerously sensitive to certain chemicals and drugs. It is recommended to test these breeding dogs for the MDR-1 mutation, so they do not pass on the sensitivity to their puppies.
Genetic Test
Myotonia Hereditaria/Congenita is a genetic disease that causes muscle problems resulting in a stiff gait and difficulty swallowing. There is a DNA test available to identify whether a breeding dog might be carrying this condition.
Genetic Test
Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis (NCL) is a neurodegenerative disorder found in many breeds of dog. 7 varieties have been identified so far, affecting different breeds. There are DNA tests for each type, to identify whether a breeding dog might be carrying this condition.
Genetic Test
Raine Syndrome, or Canine Dental Hypomineralisation, is a genetic disorder found in Border Collies, that causes their teeth to wear down abnormally fast. There is a DNA test available to identify whether a breeding dog is carrying this condition.
Genetic Test
Trapped Neutrophil Syndrome (TNS) is a genetic disease affecting Border Collies. It results in the dogโs white blood cells not being released from the bone marrow properly, meaning they cannot fight off infections. There is a DNA test available to identify whether a breeding dog is carrying this condition.
Genetic Test
Von Willebrandโs Disease (VWD/vWD) is a genetic bleeding disorder caused by a lack of a specific clotting factor. There are three forms of the disease, types 1, 2 & 3. A DNA test is available for each type of VWD to identify whether a breeding dog is a carrier or might be affected. The severity of VWD varies widely between breeds and individuals, ranging from life threatening, through to having no impact on clotting ability.
