HEALTH TESTING - THE Difference Between EXELLENT Breeders and the rest...
It's this simple:
1) Health testing is for ALL breeding dogs - not just show dogs - ALL dogs deserve a sound body
2) There is NO excuse for a breeder to not health test - NONE. But you will hear plenty of excuses!
3) Many diseases cannot be detected without health testing - until too late!
4) YOU are in control of the future health of purebred dogs. DEMAND health testing and breeders will have to supply it.
Educate yourself on your breed's specific health issues.
Every breed faces the dual challenges of a "closed breeding population" along with the lack of natural selection - so necessary to keep organisms healthy. Most breeders no longer cull litters for health, choosing instead to sell every single expensive puppy for the cash. This is why Nature - and only Old School Breeders who cull (remove unhealthy dogs from the breeding population) produce robust, healthy animals.
This site is here to inform you of tests available to breeders and buyers to improve the health of our beloved dog breeds. I have made it as easy to understand as possible.

"Anyone who charges money for a purebred puppy must put money back into health testing to protect and repay that breed and to be considered a reputable breeder."
