Cavapoo
About Fern
Fern is our amazing F1 Cavapoo momma. She’s truthfully the best temperament dog we’ve ever owned. We are huge Cavapoo advocates and Fern stands to be an excellent representation of the crossbreed’s sought after qualities. Very clean health testing and the sweetest, most adaptable dog you may ever meet. She LOVES being a mom, going for walks, and playing so gingerly with our children and the Siberian kittens in our Russian Siberian program. Life would not be the same without Fern and her big loving heart! Her babies have her incredible temperament snd that is what we strive to pass on to other families.

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.
PRA, Rod-Cone Degeneration (PRA-prcd), DNA Disease Panel
