  • 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.

  • DNA Disease Panel, PRA, Rod-Cone Degeneration (PRA-prcd), D Locus (Dilute) DNA test, Exercise Induced Collapse (EIC), Centronuclear Myopathy (CNM)

    Julie was a dream to work with. She responded very quickly to all questions, was a great communicator, and made the whole process so easy. She shared pictures of our puppy, was incredibly friendly, and sent us home from puppy pick up with a goodie bag. Her love of dogs was very clear and we couldn’t be happier with our new family member! I highly recommend Julie from Rock Creek!

    Julia and Dale are wonderful breeders! We couldn’t be happier with our new puppy Ellie Mae. Julie communicated often with pictures and a video. The adoption process was very smooth do to Julie having everything well organized. We very much appreciated having detailed health information on the parents. We would highly recommend Rock Creek for anyone looking to adopt a new puppy from a highly regarded and responsible breeder. They’re the best! Tony n Linda
