Breeder-Reported Testing
Great level
Blue Thunder Danes 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 Great Danes.
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.
Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)
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 (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.
Thyroid (Autoimmune Thyroiditis, registered with 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.

Rachel was amazing to work. Throughout the entire process she kept us informed on our puppy we selected. Whenever we had questions we reached out to her and quickly responded. As the time approached for pickup she updated us weekly with pictures and videos on our puppy. She made the transition as smooth as possible which helped tremendously. Blue is enjoying our time with us as we are enjoying our time with him!

Easy transaction. Pups are very well taken care of. Everything that Rachel told us was on point and all promises made where kept. We were scammed on our first search and we probably were a little over the top with our research. We were pleasantly surprised with the outcome. Highly recommend Rachel and Blue Thunder Danes

I can't say enough good things about Mrs Rachel. Im so glad I stumbled upon their tik tok videos. I googled search Blue Thunder Danes after seeing her tik tok videos and found her on Good Dog. She was such a pleasure to work with she offered to FaceTime when I had questions about the puppies which was a big plus. Shes very knowledgeable as well. She answer3d all of our questions. I can tell she really cares about all of the puppies that means a lot to me. The transaction went smoothly. We are in love with our Pepper (formerly know as Aqua)..I look forward to doing business with her again.
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
