Another breeding question I am sorry but I have another question about breeding. What testing would you have done on your female before breeding her? Then possibly on a male? We are just researching not breeding.:) Thank you for your time. |

I can tell you of things I am aware of that can be used to screen your dogs and what I would look into if I was considering breeding. These I feel ought to be done on every adult dog before being bred: A very careful and thorough physical exam by vet Complete Blood Panel Bile Acid Test Brucellosis Test (every time before breeding) And these are the Health certifications available. It's very impressive to me when a breeder goes further than the basic health testing I mentioned above and gets their dogs certified for any of these things. If I ever decide to show and breed, I'd probably look into most of these for my dogs. Patella and hips cleared & certified by OFA OFA: Patellar Luxation OFA: Hip Dysplasia OFA: Legg-Calve-Perthes Eyes checked & cleared & certified by CERF CERF - Canine Eye Registration Foundation Heart checked & cleared & certified by OFA OFA: Cardiac Congenital Disease Thyroid checked & cleared & certified by OFA OFA: Thyroid Ears checked & cleared & certified by OFA OFA: Deafness (personally, I think this probably isn't needed for our breed..) You also want to do research into the pedigrees of the male and female to check for any genetic defects/diseases to identify if the dogs could be a carrier or not. |
Thank you foe the information this is what I was hoping to get. |
