Parent dogs

Poppet, mom
Entlebucher Mountain Dog
About Poppet
Poppet is my delightful, exuberant Entlebucher who perfectly embodies the breed’s nickname, the “Lauging Dog” of the Swiss Alps. Equal parts sweet and sassy, she makes me laugh every day with her cheerful outlook, playful personality, and boundless enthusiasm for life. Poppet is always ready for adventure and equally content to be my devoted snuggle companion. Poppet has eagerly embraced every sport we’ve tried (Flyball, Agility, Disc, FastCat, NASDA, Barnhunt, Fetch, Nosework), and has shown a particular talent in scenting, earning numerous placements and titles in competition.
Excellent health testing
Patellar Luxation, PRA, Rod-Cone Degeneration (PRA-prcd), +2 more.

Breeder-Reported Testing

Excellent level

Fabled Tails Entlebuchers 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 Entlebucher Mountain Dogs.

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.
Eye Certification (CAER, registered with OFA)
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.
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.
Vet Wellness Exam
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.
PRA, Rod-Cone Degeneration (PRA-prcd)
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).
