A while back, we were approached by a gentlemen in northern Arkansas interested in an outside breeding for his female to a good working dog, specifically our Max. We can count on one hand the number of outside breedings that we have made in the last twenty years. We tend to be wary, particularly of folks who haven't owned a working line Aussie. But after meeting the prospective female and taking a good look at her pedigree, we were intrigued. We wanted another Max pup ourselves, but our females were too closely related to him. This was a great way to pull in some outside genetics while also keeping our older genetics a little closer to the front.
Rose Marie visited the pups when they were about around six weeks and was impressed with the little red girl. She wasn't the most flashy pup of the group, but she was certainly the most spunky. Plus when Rose Marie corrected her, she would have a brief flash of stubborn and then would settle right down. There are a lot of debates about picking pups, and how much you can tell at a few weeks of age. We love the debates even if they can never be settled. For our two cents, Ginger hasn't changed in personality from the spunky runt of the litter that first impressed Rose. Ginger still has the same tough attitude. She still has the same little streak of stubborn that keeps her from backing down on rougher stock. And she is still one of the easiest girls to train. She thinks for herself in a tight spot. But for normal life, if you give her one good strong correction, Ginger settles into whatever you asked of her even if she disagreed. Ginger also has a strong dose of calm, common sense that I really love to see. For example, some high energy dogs will constantly keep you wondering what mischief they have gotten into. Ginger is not that girl. She isn't redesigning her kennel for easy dog escapes or bouncing in the canoes on float days or chasing after the fishing pole line. She settles on her mat when you ask and during fishing days sticks to the "fishing line free" zone of the White River.

Genetic Testing Results (tests conducted by Pawprint Genetics*):
Ginger tested Normal/Normal. i.e. not a carrier, for the following mutations MDR1 (Ivermectin Sensitivity), Collie Eye Anomaly, Cone Degeneration, Canine Multifocal Retinopathy 1, Hyperuricosuria, HSF-4 Hereditary Cataracts, Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis 6, Progressive rod-cone degeneration, Intestinal Cobalamin Malabsorption. and Degenerative Myelopathy.
*Our focus has always been and will continue to be temperament and instinct consistent with the old working Aussies. However, we do our best to also maintain healthy lines. We try to sensibly use current technology to help in this goal. After all, healthy dogs are needed for farm work so we are starting to utilize some of the genetic testing options available. I am not completely confident on prioritization and interpretation of the genetic testing , but Pawprint Genetics did answer some of my questions in a reasonably convincing manner. Here is their feedback to me if it helps: Link to Feedback.
