Health testing
Health Testing
Our dogs are DNA tested through Embark DNA to make sure there are no unhealthy genetic abnormalities bred into their offspring. These results are sent to The Orthopedic Foundation (OFA) for review and certification. We also do OFA testing on hips, eyes and heart on our dogs to make sure that their puppies start life with every advantage possible. These tests are costly and require travel to specialists. But we know that health tested parents produce healthy puppies! No testing of parents can insure a completely perfect pup, but as ethical breeders, we want to do all we can to produce the best Goldens we can to maintain breed standards and give our dogs the healthiest, longest lives possible.
De's Oliver Twist
Oliver
Oliver belongs to our trainer, De De Young, who has an extensive background in AKC agility training and competition. While she is no longer actively competing, she chose sweet Oliver as her retirement buddy. He is a beautiful red boy with silky hair and a blocky head. He is also athletic and very well trained. We love it when he visits! He has sired one litter with our Red Girl Owyn, and they make beautiful puppies. His OFA hips and elbows are Good and Normal, and his DNA Profile is pretty awesome. We are so excited to use him in other upcoming litters with Owyn!
