We do FULL PANELS via embark or wisdom panel prior to breeding. These companies test around 250+ genetic health diseases known to dogs.
We also send in X-rays to the Orthapedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) once our breeding dogs reach two years old (full developmental maturity, requirement for OFA) to make sure our breeding dogs have good-excellent looking hips and elbows without any displace is.
We only breed healthy dogs and would never think of doing this any other way. With breeding comes a great responsibility to never contribute to irresponsible practices that cause so many individuals and animals preventable pain.
