Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.
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.

Working with Maria was the best thing I could have done! Everything went so smooth, fast responses, great information about the pup, and amazing family. You can see they have the same love for these dogs as a new pup owner would. The quality is top tier and it shows. For this being my first time using Good Dog I highly recommend to whoever is looking for double doodles to come check out Maria’s page you won’t regret it!
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.
