HEALTH TESTING

All of my dogs are Embark DNA tested.

This is a genetic DNA swab that tests for over 190+ genetic/hereditary diseases:

Why is genetic testing necessary? To make genetics simple (which they are not and I’m still learning about this!), basically a male can be clear of or carry 1 recessive copy of a gene. And a female can be clear of or carry 1 recessive copy of a gene. If they carry a gene, they do not have the disease and are perfectly healthy, it is simply that the gene lies in their DNA. If both parents carry the recessive gene, it puts the offspring at risk of being affected by the disease. (Scroll down to see graphic that visualizes this process.)

I am happy to provide the link to my Embark DNA testing. Due to scammers I no longer can post this on my website.
