    Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.

  • Eye Examination (rDVM, not registered with OFA)

    Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.

  • Cardiac Evaluation (rDVM, not registered with OFA)

    Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.

  • Patellar Luxation

    Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.

    I had been searching for a puppy for awhile. I came across Good Dog and then Veronica's puppies. I knew when I saw these puppies that my search was over. Veronica's puppies have what I wanted and that is the beautiful Maltese face. Veronica was responsive and very helpful during the process of selecting the dog and she continues to be a valuable source of information and knowledge. I always get a response from Veronica in a timely manner. Veronica has been a joy to work with. We have decided to name the puppy Puff. Puff is adjusting to her new environment nicely. Puff is healthy and has a wonderful temperament. You can tell that she was nurtured and socialized resulting in a well adjusted puppy.

    We adopted Coco Chanel & Miss Dior from Veronica! She is absolutely amazing! From the very beginning, she was kind, friendly, and incredibly communicative. You can truly tell she has a heart of gold and genuinely cares about her puppies and the families they go to. Her puppies are absolute angels—beautiful, well-mannered, and so full of love. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We feel incredibly blessed and thankful to have found Veronica. We are beyond happy with our girls—yes, we got two, and we wouldn’t change a thing! They are perfect in every way. I would recommend getting a puppy from Veronica to anyone without hesitation. Thank you so much, Veronica 🩷😇🥰
