We are dedicated to preserving and honouring the Australian Shepherd breed standard. Litters at MountainAsh are bred occasionally and selectively. A tremendous amount of care and expertise go into raising our puppies. We strive to produce beautiful, healthy, sound, and well-adjusted Australian Shepherds for show, performance, and active companionship.
Our dogs are registered with the Canadian Kennel Club (CKC) and Australian Shepherd Club of America (ASCA). Prior to breeding, our dogs have earned their conformation Champion title and/or performance titles. The dogs must also pass breed-appropriate health testing - the minimum being: OFA evaluations for hips & elbows, annual eye examinations by a veterinary ophthalmologist, MDR1 status, and genetic health panel. For more information on breed health check out the Australian Shepherd Health and Genetics Institute.
We advocate for the health and longevity of our Australian Shepherds through careful breeding practices and healthy lifestyle choices:

We advocate for the health and longevity of our Australian Shepherds through careful breeding practices and healthy lifestyle choices:
- mental enrichment from training (e.g. obedience, rally, agility, tricks, games, etc)
- an active lifestyle with age-appropriate exercise while avoiding injury and obesity
- excellent nutrition from a balanced raw food diet
- vaccination protocol with antibody titer testing as per Dr Jean Dodds DVM - this schedule maximizes disease protection, prevents over vaccination, while minimizing vaccine related health risks
- holistic approach to health care and limited exposure to flea/tick pesticides
- spay/neuter no earlier than 18 months of age to ensure proper physical and mental development, while reducing the risk of musculoskeletal issues, autoimmune diseases, cancers, and more
