HEALTH TESTING
The Australian Labradoodle is known for being a particularly healthy breed.
Due to its genetic diversity, here at Rossendale Labradoodles, we take our health testing very seriously, we extensively test our dogs to ensure they are suitable to become future parents to our puppies.
To improve the health and well-being, through a reduction in the incidence of genetic disease, all our Breeding dogs are genetically tested for the following as a minimum –
- Degenerative Myelopathy
- Exercise-Induced Collapse
- Hereditary Nasal Parakeratosis
- Neonatal Encephalopathy with Seizures
- Progressive Retinal Atrophy, Cone-Rod Dystrophy 4
- Progressive Retinal Atrophy, Progressive Rod-Cone
- Von Willebrand Disease
We hip and elbow score our dogs, this is done through either the BVA (British Veterinary Association) or the OFA (Orthopaedic Foundation for Animals).
