Parent health testing
Breeder-Reported Testing
Good level
Shay-Dee Springers 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 English Springer Spaniels.
PRA, Cone-Rod Dystrophy 4 (PRA-crd4), DNA Disease Panel, DNA Repository, PRA, Rod-Cone Degeneration (PRA-prcd), DNA Profile
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).
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.
