    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.

    It went great. Larissa was ready with my new dog when I arrived. She was friendly and introduced me to the other puppies that were around. Larissa’s communication was stellar and all questions were answered quickly. The process was smooth and the price was fair.

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.
