Health, genetic testing and certificates

Health can be documented. Here is which examinations we carry out, how often we repeat them and what you can inspect at our home.

Examinations before every mating

  • Eye examination to DOK standard, repeated annually
  • Cardiac auscultation, plus cardiac ultrasound for maltese and chihuahua
  • Breed-specific genetic tests: PRA-prcd, vWD I, CDDY, PRA-cord1, Lafora

Veterinary care of the litter

  • Pregnancy ultrasound in week 4 and a check in week 7
  • Litter inspection by the breed club's warden
  • General examination of every puppy at 7 weeks including heart, navel, bite and patella
  • Microchipping and EU pet passport before the move

What we disclose
