Luca and Lana are purebred Australian Shepherd females born 9-7-06. They mother was a red merle and father a blue merle. Luca and Lana are what is called homozygous merles which means they have excessive white hair coat. Birth defects are common in this case and both Luca and Lana are suspected to be "hearing impaired". They were also born with microphthalmia which means small eyes. In microphthalmia vision may be normal, reduced, or absent. Both Luca and Lana can see, Luca sees well but Lana's eyes are smaller and therefore may have some visual impairment. Both pups are mostly white with blue eyes, Luca has a blue merle colored area on her rear and Lana has a black spot on her side. Both girls are happy pups. They will play all day and love to eat. They are good with other dogs, cats, and children. They will need a special family willing to work differently at training since they can't hear commands. These beautiful souls are eager to please and just looking for the special family willing to overlook their handicaps and give them all the love and understanding they deserve. Luca and Lana have been vet checked, spayed, had their first vaccines, treated for internal and external parasites, microchipped, and current on flea and heartworm prevention.
