Health Testing
We believe every family deserves to know exactly what health testing has been done on their puppy's parents. Here is a full breakdown of our testing protocol.
All dogs in our breeding program undergo comprehensive health and genetic testing before being paired. We share results openly and are happy to provide documentation upon request.
OFA Hip Evaluation
Radiographs evaluated by the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals to screen for hip dysplasia.
OFA Elbow Evaluation
Radiographs evaluated for elbow dysplasia and related conditions.
CAER Eye Examination
Annual eye examination by a board-certified veterinary ophthalmologist.
vWD (von Willebrand Disease)
Genetic test for the most common inherited bleeding disorder in dogs.
Degenerative Myelopathy (DM)
Genetic test for a progressive neurological disease.
Neonatal Encephalopathy (NEwS)
Genetic test specific to Standard Poodles.
Progressive Retinal Atrophy (prcd-PRA)
Genetic test for a form of inherited blindness.
We are committed to staying current with recommended health testing protocols as they evolve. Additional tests may be added as new screening tools become available for the breed.
