  • 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.

  • Urinalysis (UA), Standard Veterinary Blood Panel

    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.

    Sam was very responsive and helpful with my questions. The process to adopt was smooth and clear, they provided all the necessary paperwork, some starter food, vet info, etc. Our basset hound is the sweetest, nicest dog I have ever met in my life and couldn't be happier with her.

    Millie is just a burst of joy. She is doing great. She can sit on command, doing pretty good with potty training and is doing well with recall. This weekend we are headed to MI. She will get more socialized with two other dogs and different people. She loves to snuggle in the evening. Belly rubs are a favorite!

    Our new basset Charlie is a tremendous addition to our family. K&S Canines unbelievable to work with especially as I need to figure out how to get our new puppy from South Dakota to NY. K&S guided me through the process and was flexible with our pickup date. Our pup came to us healthy and happy. I totally recommend K&S . . . a perfect 10 out of 10.

    We had a great experience with Sam! Super communicative and we couldn’t be happy with our sweet dog! Handsome boy, up to date on his shots, and in good health. Sam also was super great on working out the date we needed to pick up as we couldn’t pick up the first weekend our dog was available. Overall, a great experience! Highly recommend!

    Sam is awesome!! Super responsive and helpful for first-time puppy owners - which is GREATLY appreciated. Keith is doing amazingly in his new home and just the sweetest little puppy that everyone in the neighborhood, groomers, and vets love. We would 100% get another puppy from K&S Canines….Keith does need a friend, after all 😀
