About Tally
Tally is OFA hips excellent, elbows normal, spine normal, and CERF clear.
She loves doing just about anything and everything! Always up for an adventure, she’s happiest when she’s out playing or competing in different sports — with agility being her favorite. After a fun day of activity, she’s perfectly content to come home, unwind, and relax. She absolutely adores kids (though she’ll never turn down attention from anyone). With her cheeky, charming personality, she’s a little ham who loves to make everyone around her smile. She truly has the sweetest disposition.

Breeder-Reported Testing
Excellent level
Solgladje’s Swedish Vallhunds 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 Swedish Vallhunds.
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.
Eye Certification (CAER, registered with OFA)
Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.
Vet Wellness Exam
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.
DNA Disease Panel
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.
