Health Testing of our Seaspray Breeding Dogs

Picture
Picture
Seaspray Australian Labradoodles follow the strictest health testing set forth in the “Silver Paw” and “Gold Paw” programs recommended by the Australian Labradoodle Association. This means our breeding dogs are continuously being screened/tested for the following:

§  CAER stands for Companion Animal Eye Registery and contains a wealth of information regarding heritable eye diseases. A veterinary ophthalmologist performs the CAER exam.  This test is now called ACVO, which stands for a test done by the American College of Veterinary Ophthalmologists.  Tested every 18 months.

§  PRA refers to Progressive Retinal Atrophy and we utilize Paw Prints Genetics  PRCD DNA test to ensure that none of our puppies will develop this degenerative eye problem.

§  OFA, Dr. Wallace and/or PennHip: This is a series of specialized X-Rays to determine the presence of, or likelihood of developing dysplasia or osteoarthritis in the hips, elbows or patella

§  Cardiac  exam by our Veterinarian. 

§  vWD is a test specifically designed for a type of hemophilia (free bleeder) in dogs.

§  CBC is a complete blood count which looks at the white and red blood cells as well as the different types of each. For instance with anemia the red blood cells are examined and for a bacterial versus viral infection, a closer look at the white blood cells would be indicated.

§  Thyroid tests are sent to an independent specialized lab if needed.

§  Two tests known to be in the Labrador Retriever breed, but not confirmed as being in the Australian Labradoodle breed:  1.  Exercise Induced Collapse (EIC)  and   2.  Degenerative Myelopathy (DM) .  In an abundance of caution, we include this test.,

To put it in a nut-shell, all this means that you can be assured that you are bringing the highest quality Australian Labradoodle you can find, into your home to love for years to come!
