Genetic TestingWe strive to ensure our dogs, as well as the puppies we produce, are very healthy. We take pride in extensively health testing our dogs. We are one of few select Labrador kennels in the country that choose to extensively health test. We also make it a priority to test for new upcoming diseases that are discovered in the Labrador breed. We submit xrays to OFA as well as perform eye (CERF/CAER) exams and breed specific genetic DNA testing. We test at minimum of 17 diseases within the Labrador breed including the Dilute gene, L Locus (long hair), K Locus (tan points), CMS and Copper Toxicosis. Test results can be viewed on Paw Print Genetic Pedigrees and OFA. Simply click the blue button to view all DNA test results on each of our dogs.
