Health testing breeding dogs is a crucial aspect of
responsible breeding practices. It ensures that the offspring are less likely
to inherit genetic diseases or health issues, promoting the overall well-being
of the breed. Here are some key points to consider when it comes to health
testing your breeding dogs.

Firstly, it is important to research and understand the specific health
concerns associated with the breed you are working with. Different breeds have
different genetic predispositions to certain diseases, and being aware of these
risks is essential in selecting appropriate health tests.

Consult with a veterinarian or a breed-specific health organization to
determine the recommended health tests for your breed. These tests will include
hip and Elbow evaluations, eye examinations, cardiac screenings, DNA tests for specific genetic disorders, and more.
Each test serves to identify potential health issues that could be passed on to
the offspring.

When selecting breeding dogs, you should prioritize individuals with clear
health test results, (However Carriers should never be ruled out) This helps to reduce the risk of passing on genetic
diseases to future generations. Reputable breeders often provide documentation
of health test results, allowing potential buyers to make informed decisions.

Regular health testing should be an on-going practice throughout the breeding
dog’s life. It is important to retest periodically to ensure that any potential
health issues are identified and addressed.

By prioritizing health testing in your breeding program, you contribute to the
overall improvement of the breed’s health and reduce the risk of inherited
diseases. It demonstrates a commitment to responsible breeding practices and
the well-being of the future generations of the breed.
