My adults have been bile acid tested and checked for LP, bloodwork, and have had a good check up from the vet. Maddie has had a little more than that because I was less confident about her background at first.

I don't test the puppies I have, to be honest. I do have the 1 year health guarantee, and I feel very strongly that if ANYTHING, even something teeny tiny showed up genetically I would never breed that pair again, and those 2 parents would have more extensive testing. I AM the kind of breeder who wants to KNOW if something shows up.

Of course, there are always liver shunts that aren't genetic, and several other things that people perceive to have come from the parents and it really didn't. However, I'll always strive to do my best at breeding only healthy dogs.

At this point, I really don't feel the need to test all puppies, since the adults have been done. However, I may do things differently when I move towards the show world in the near future.
