Breeder-Reported Testing
Great level
Cantlon Yorkshire Terriers 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 Yorkshire Terriers.
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.
Serum Bile Acid Test
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.
Full Embark 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).

Barbara is extremely knowledgeable about this breed. She sent pictures and videos until I was able to pick Millie up. She made a care package to get us home as we had quite a drive. She is always a phone call or text away if I have any questions or issues. I was nervous about using Good Dog as it had been a while since I had gotten a dog but Barbara made me feel so comfortable I wouldn’t hesitate to do it again.

Barbara was crazy good. Still exchanging texts almost daily. You can tell she cares and is knowledgeable- a great combo. Our new puppy “Buddy” is doing wonderful and is already an amazing addition to our family.
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.
