The Australian Shepherd is a medium-sized herding dog with an athletic build, a thick coat, and a very intelligent, alert expression. It is energetic, quick-witted, loyal, and highly attuned to working with humans. It is a working breed that needs plenty of exercise, training, and mental stimulation.
Advanced DNA analysis allows us to better understand the genetic predispositions specific to the breed and make more informed decisions about its health and care. The PetGen test analyzes genetic variants associated with the risk of hereditary and polygenic diseases that may be more common in representatives of the breed. The result provides valuable information about health predispositions, supporting prevention, diagnostic planning and daily care. It’s a tool that helps owners, breeders and veterinarians act earlier and more informed.
