 Dog genetic testing of the breeding pair and litter is an essential step for responsible breeding. It limits genetically inherited conditions by allowing breeders to make an informed selection of the breeding pair and provides a clear assessment of the known risks for each puppy.

All tests include:

 

Antech PennHIP testing (X-Rays) provides an estimate of the risk for painful osteoarthritis (OA) of canine hip dysplasia (CHD) later in life. With this information, the PennHIP-trained veterinarian can recommend preventive and palliative strategies. The test is accurate in dogs as young as 16 weeks of age.

All dogs (and their owners) can benefit from PennHIP testing. For pet dogs found to be at risk for developing hip OA, early intervention can help prevent or lessen the severity of CHD. For working/service dogs, identifying a dog with healthy hips can extend the working life of the dog. For breeding dogs, early detection of at-risk hips can allow the breeder to make early, informed decisions as to which dogs to keep in breeding programs.
