Additional Tests
The Fluffington Group- MAS conducts 6 additional tests available for the Miniature American Shepherd.
- Genetic Test
This is a genetic cause of deafness and hearing loss caused by the USP31 gene. It can occur in Border Collies and other Shepherd breeds. It generally causes hearing loss in young adult dogs (age 3-5 years). There is a DNA test available to identify if a breeding dog is carrying this condition.
- Genetic Test
Canine Multifocal Retinopathy (CMR) is a genetic disorder causing local detachment of the retina in young dogs. It does not always cause impaired vision or blindness but can in severe cases. There are three types of CMR affecting different breeds. A DNA test is available to identify if a breeding dog is carrying this condition.
- Genetic Test
Cone degeneration is a genetic eye disease that results in ‘day blindness’, extreme sensitivity to light, and poor vision. The condition begins in puppies and gradually worsens as they get older. There are various types of cone degeneration in the dog, including Achromatopsia. There is a DNA test available in certain breeds to identify whether a breeding dog is 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
Hyperuricosuria (HUU) is a genetic disease that causes a build-up of uric acid in the urine, predisposing to painful bladder and kidney stones. It can occur in a range of breeds. There is a DNA test available to identify whether a breeding dog is carrying this disease.
- 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.

About the Breeder
A little about us
Hi all, I am a long term dog breeder and have a love of the Lagotto Romagnolo and MiniatureAmericanShepherd. We are working on educating the public about these beautiful breeds and look forward to what our newly imported boy will bring to the Australian shores. We feel our puppies make a beautiful addition to the…
Why we got involved in breeding
I have always loved dogs and after showing dogs as a teen and young adult my love for dogs progessed to the next step. I love working with different bloodlines as they all bring different things to the table to better our beautiful breeds.
Our special touch
Breeding isn't a hobby for me, I live and breathe my dogs and my puppies. Along with my 2 sons aged 12 and 16 this is very much a family venture. Our puppies are very much a part of our daily activities and lifestyle.
