I would want both parents to be tested for everything on MyFairLacy's list plus a thyroid check and urinalysis.

I am really not huge on the breeder testing the puppies for everything because that would be so much money and I think they are too young. Maybe a bile acid test and blood panel for the pups... I would also buy only from a breeders whose lines are clear of any serious problems.

A bile acid test here is $77 (plus $28 hospitalization fee and $1.31 for food if you leave them and sometimes you have to).
Urinalysis: $25
Exam: $38
Xray (one view) $80
Blood panel and CBC: $100

I woule expect to pay between $400-$800 for testing on one adult at Ellie's vet.
