Breeder-Reported Testing

Great level

Behive Doxies reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Dachshunds.

  • Hip Dysplasia (rDVM, not registered)

    Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.

  • Elbow Dysplasia (rDVM, not registered)

    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.

  • 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.

  • Vet Wellness Exam

    A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.

  • DNA Disease Panel

    Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).

    Roberta was so responsive and kind with all my questions. She helped guide me as this was the first time I was adopting out of state. Her and her daughter made this process so easy and they were very accommodating even providing me with all the necessary first essentials for traveling with my pup. From first getting my pup I could tell that he was coming from a very loved home and I’m so happy Roberta brought us together. I know I could reach out whenever I have a question. I can see and feel that Roberta and her daughter, Nikki, have been doing this with so much care and knowledge in providing you with a healthy and happy mini dox puppy. I’m so appreciative to Behive Doxies! And I love my puppy Bruno, formally Mr. Pickles :)
