Health Testing for all dogs in our breeding program, will be completed before dogs are bred from now on. We are working on genetic testing with Paw Prints Genetics and or Embark. All of our current dogs have already had their DNA testing done and we will be doing DNA testing on our 3 Guardian puppies in the Spring of 2017. We will post results as tests come in, below on this page. Jacque, Willow, Fozzie and Emmy Rose, have had their eye and heart exams, Willow, Emmy Rose and Fozzie have also passed their hips, elbows and patellar exams.
We will post their certifications, when they arrive, on our Facebook page and they can be emailed to you, upon request.
RETIRED: Maci Mae has OFA GOOD hips, normal elbows and patellas. Teddy has EXCELLENT hips, normal elbows and patellas. Solomon was neutered and removed from our program Feb. 2019, and will remain our daughter's companion dog. Aspen was spayed in 2017 when she failed her hip exams. Holly, Toby and Asia are all retired. We sadly lost Ginger to Pyrometra before we moved back to Kansas. She is deeply missed.

Puppies in our guardian program will be DNA tested before being placed with their guardian families and will have Hip & elbow's done at age 2. Any questions, please private message us. All of our dogs are in the process of completing testing. Maci & Teddy had their hips and elbows x-rayed in January 2017, Maci's Hips are good, Patellas and Elbows are normal, Teddy's Hips are EXCELLENT, Patellas and Elbows are normal. All had their Eye and Heart's done at the CERF Clinic on January 28, 2017, all passed both tests. Any dogs under the age of 2, will have theirs done before being bred.ie: Jacque (hearts, eyes and DNA completed), Willow (DNA, Eyes and heart completed), Phoebe, Zoey, Solomon (DNA, Eyes and Heart completed). We hesitate to do "preliminary" xrays, as they cannot be certified until they are officially 2 years of age and they have to be sedated each time, meaning twice if we do prelims. We will do prelims only if absolutely necessary. Solomon will have his hips, elbows and patellas done after her turns 2 on February 26th, 2017.
We will have to add more pages, to show everyone's photos and results. ** Willow is in season, so she cannot be xrayed until she has been out of season for at least two weeks, as hormones can affect her hips. Jacque will still be getting his pre-lims done soon.
We will post their certifications, when they arrive, on our Facebook page and they can be emailed to you, upon request.

Jacque is 22" tall at the shoulders and weighs 50 lb and should be 20-23" tall at maturity. All testing was clear for Jacque and he is not a carrier of any genetic defects, or IC. We are thrilled! He passed his OFA Eye and Heart exams.
