Top Australian Shepherd breeders in Arizona
Common Australian Shepherd health concerns
Hip dysplasia, Epilepsy, MDR1 gene mutation, Eye defects (CEA, cataracts). Ask the breeder which of these the parents were screened for, and for results you can check.
Breeder licensing in Arizona
Arizona requires a County kennel permit, issued by the county board of supervisors / county animal control, not by the state if you keep 5 or more breeding dogs (kept in an enclosed controlled area, unless each dog is individually licensed).
No state issues a breed-specific breeder license, and a state license never replaces a USDA license or local zoning.
