Health Testing

Health testing is a crucial part of responsible breeding. We send DNA from our dogs into genetic labs that test for multiple (over 150) genetic disorders. We also test for certain coat traits. Not all Goldendoodles are hypoallergenic and non-shedding. These tests have the ability to tell us if a dog carries a shedding gene. We avoid breeding dogs that will produce high shed puppies. We do this to ensure we produce optimal puppies for our doodle families. Our breeding dogs are minimal to non-shedding.

We also obtain OFA certifications for hips, elbows, patellas, and cardiac. We want to ensure that our breeding stock is healthy and capable of producing healthy puppies that should live a long, happy life.
