As the name Blue Moon implies, we do not breed often.
I do not take breeding lightly and consider it a privilege
and responsibility.
I take great care in choosing the homes for our puppies,
and our litters are usually reserved in advance of
breeding.
I only place into companion homes that will do sheep work,
agility or other sports.
Top quality imported ISDS and ABCA pure working
sheepdog bloodlines.
Pups are microchiped, wormed and vaccinated prior to
placement.
Our parents (and most of our offspring) are screened for hip
disorders.
Parents are DNA screened for CEA and CL so that no pup will
be affected.
COI (the amount of inbreeding) is keep to very low-out cross
levels.
We are now DNA screening to increase the genetic diversity
of haplotypes across 25 chromosomes on the parents of
our litters.
Current scientific thinking encourages breeders to
seek as much genetic diversity as possible in their pups.

Haplotype
Screening and Mate Selection
Great care is taken socializing our pups, they live in the
house and are exposed
to a variety of positive experiences as they mature.
All Blue Moon puppies are placed on desexed contract,
no breeding is allowed.
I do not offer stud service.
We encourage all those considering adding a pup to
their family
to use caution. Become
educated about the breed, about good
breeding practice and avoid making impulsive decisions.
