Health testing is the foundation of responsible dog breeding. Before planning any litter, understanding your breed’s genetic risks and screening your dogs accordingly protects both the puppies you produce and the families who welcome them home.
Why health testing matters
Every breed carries its own set of inherited conditions. Screening tests — for hips, elbows, eyes, heart, and breed-specific genetic markers — help you make informed pairing decisions and reduce the risk of passing on preventable health problems.
Getting started
Begin by researching your breed’s recommended health tests through your national breed club and recognized screening schemes. Keep clear records of every result, and be transparent with puppy buyers about what you have tested for.
