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.
Degenerative Myelopathy (DM; SOD1A)
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).

Squires German Shepherds were very easy to work with. They answered all of my questions and continue to be available if needed. My GS has the BEST temperament. She is bright, friendly, and protective when needed. She is great with children and other dogs. She loves chasing birds, swimming, and running. Best decision our family made!
