Parent dogs
Oakley, mom
English Springer Spaniel
About Oakley
Oakley is a petite, sweet and attentive girl. She is energetic and obedient in the field, however, quickly seeks a lap in the family room. She runs in circles barking in anticipation of our morning runs ("hunts" to her). Then suddenly birds are flying out of the roadside ditches. Her bloodlines include our original lineage tracing back to Mandy out foundation dog through handsome Joey bastion as her father.
Parent health testing
Great level

Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)
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.
Phosphofructokinase Deficiency (PFK), PRA, Cone-Rod Dystrophy 4 (PRA-crd4)
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).
