Who We Are
DART is a rescue for deaf Australian Shepherds (Aussie)
This rescue was start to help Aussies of merle/merle breeding (mxm).
Merle is a pattern of coat of Aussies that is either blue or red. If both parents have this pattern some of the puppies will be born deaf and or blind.
This double gene is known by the knowledgeable breeders and is avoided. However the backyard breeders do not do the reach that is needed to do proper breeding. Therefore mxm breeding happens and the backyard breeder does not know that one fourth of their pups will be special needs dogs. They sell these gorgeous white dogs with merle patches. The new owners takes their new puppy home and later finds out he is deaf. They maybe unable to deal with a special needs puppy and the breeder will not take him back.
This is where DART come in.
