We believe in a comprehensive approach to breeding. We dedicate considerable resources to in-depth research, carefully examining the pedigrees, temperaments, and health histories of our dogs. We test our breeding dogs for genetic health anomalies that affect White Swiss Shepherds. Below is a list of health tests conducted on our breeding dogs.

​

We test for key health indicators through OFA including:

• Autoimmune Thyroiditis (Thyroid)

• Basic Cardiac

• Canine Leukocyte Adhesion Def (CLAD Type III)

• Degenerative Myelopathy (DM)

• Dentition

• Elbows

• Eyes

• Hemophilia A (HMA)

• Hips

• Multiple Drug Resistances (MDR1)

• Patellas

For more information on these tests, please visit the OFA website.

We also run a genetic DNA test through Embark DNA, which tests for 255  genetic health conditions, including 11 breed specific. Running this test ensures our breeding dogs are not at risk for developing these clinical diseases or conditions. For more information, please visit the Embark website.
