Parent health testing
Breeder-Reported Testing
Excellent level
Blackwood Rat Terriers (Standard) 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 Rat Terriers.
Hip Dysplasia
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.
Cardiac Evaluation (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.
Legg-Calve-Perthes (OFA)
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.
Primary Lens Luxation (PLL), PRA, Rod-Cone Degeneration (PRA-prcd), Chondrodystrophy and IVDD Risk (CDDY-IVDD), Congenital Hypothyroidism with Goiter, Terrier Type (CHG), PawPrint Genetic Panel (Breed Specific), Degenerative Myelopathy (DM; SOD1A)
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).

+5We couldn’t be happier with our puppy and our experience with Blackwood Rat Terriers. Jackie was very responsive to our questions, but the best part was meeting all the Rat Terriers in our puppy’s family when we arrived to get him. We loved seeing them all in their everyday setting, playing together in the fresh air and sunshine. Our puppy gets along great with our 2 cats and our other dog. We attribute that to the great early socialization he had at Blackwood and the wonderful Rat Terrier breeding. We will definitely be interested in another puppy from Blackwood Rat Terriers.
