Breeding Standards
What Makes Mountain Rose the Gold Standard?
Registered Parents
Our puppies come from purebred registered ancestry including AKC Poodle and ABCA Border Collies.
Early Neuro Stimulation
We implement the "Super Dog" program (Early Neurological Stimulation) beginning when pups are 3 days of age.
Puppy Pedigree
Each puppy comes with a certified pedigree showing the family history.
Vaccinations
All puppies are always up-to-date on vaccinations and your packet will come with information to schedule continued vaccinations to keep your puppy healthy and safe.
10-Year Health Guarantee
While most breeders offer a typical 2-year health guarantee, Mountain Rose provides you with a 10-YEAR Health Guarantee on all of our magnificent puppies.
Genetically Tested
Our sires and dams have all been DNA tested for the presence of certain genes known to cause health issues in both poodles and border collies. All of our sires and dams are 100% clear of those “problem” genes that cause Progressive Retinal Atrophy, Degenerative Myelopathy, Seizures, Thyroid Disease, Sebuceous Adenitis, Von Willebrand Disease, Osteochondrodysplasia and Collie Eye anomaly.
Advanced Puppy Socialization
Because we have many years of professional experience in training dogs, we are able to provide an advanced socialization program which involves lots of love, attention, proper handling and proper sound adaption and conditioning.
OFA|Penn-HIP Tested
OFA and/or Penn-HIP testing is conducted on all breeding females and males. This testing helps us determine whether hip dysplasia is present in the parent dogs and/or probable in offspring. All of our parent dogs must show that they are clear of hip dysplasia and must score above average for the breed.
Healthy Puppies
All of our puppies are born in our homes under strict supervision and all puppies are examined before going home to be verified as healthy.
Puppy Albums
We provide puppy pictures on the website for each individual puppy and adorable videos of puppies playing at 6 weeks of age.
Microchipping
Your puppy is microchipped before arriving to you. This allows your puppy to be easily identified by vets, the humane society, and independant animal welfare institutions.
