Mysti has been an eye-catcher since she was born. As a breeder I always make sure to keep myself neutral until the puppies have grown enough to see them as a whole, but this girl made me break my rules right away. She is the female version of her father - elegant, feminine, but large and hardy. She is considered "black", though has some beautiful lighter hairs flecking through where you would normally see a red and black shepherd have them.

PEDIGREE

Here are some amazing dogs in Mysti's lineage. Her pedigree can be traced back to the original dogs used to create the breed. There are simply too many amazing dogs to be able to list them all, but here are a few notable ones, including dogs who we have had the honor of either owning or meeting in person.

HEALTH

Alfira is a third generation girl of Seelenvoll, and her health clearances reflect this!

 

Her PennHip scores are RDI: 0.31 and LDI: 0.25, which puts her in the top percentile of tested dogs in the breed. With the average being 0.42, that is pretty amazing!

 

Her elbows were also xrayed and graded as "Normal" by OFA, which is the best result. 

​

While she is clear by parentage for DM (Degenerative Myelopathy), she is also tested as Clear for DM and 255 other genetic diseases through her Embark Panel. This includes Hemophilia (Blood Disorder) and MDR1 (Multi-Drug Resistance). This means that even if bred with a dog who is Affected/At Risk for any of these diseases and disorders she cannot produce them in her puppies.

​

Alfira's heart has been cleared by a canine cardiologist and her clearance can be found in the OFA database. Her eyes were also evaluated by a canine Ophthalmologist and found to be clear as well through OFA(Orthopedic Foundation for Animals).
