Breeder-Reported Testing

Excellent level

Patriot Farm & Forestry 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 Great Pyrenees.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Cardiac Evaluation (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.

  • 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.

  • Thyroid (Autoimmune Thyroiditis, registered with OFA)

    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.

  • Chondrodysplasia/Dwarfism, DNA Disease Panel, Multifocal Retinopathy 1 (CMR1), Neuronal Degeneration (NDG), Degenerative Myelopathy (DM; SOD1A), Glanzmann's Thrombasthenia, Great Pyrenees Type

    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).

    I had an excellent experience acquiring a livestock guardian dog from Tracy and Patriot Farm. From start to finish the process was smooth and transparent. I was able to pick up my dog 30 minutes from my house, which was super convenient and unexpected, since Tracy is in Indiana, and I am in West Virginia. The dog we got is wonderful. As you can see from the pictures, she is already 'working' at our farm. Thank you Tracy!
