Breeder-Reported Testing

Good level

  • Cardiac Evaluation (rDVM, not registered with OFA)

  • Tracheal Hypoplasia

    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.

  • Cystinuria Type 3 (Variant 1 & 2), Bulldog Type Risk Factor, Degenerative Myelopathy (DM; SOD1A), Multifocal Retinopathy 1 (CMR1), Hyperuricosuria (HUU)

    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).
