The British Veterinary Association (BVA) and the Kennel Club (KC) work in partnership to provide a number of health screening programmes - the Canine Health Schemes.
The Canine Health Schemes enable breeders to screen for a range of inherited diseases so they can make informed decisions as to whether those dogs should be included in breeding programmes.
ALL our dogs undergo the Health Tests listed below before breeding. We only breed from fully health tested parents...
We use EBV's (Estimated Breeding Values) for good hearing results in all LUA litters. To date out of 100 puppies born in the UK all but one have been bilateral hearing... just one uni and no deaf.. Again proving if you really want to breed for the dogs ... you can!
EBVs use information about the phenotypes of a dog and its relatives to predict genotype of a dog, its "breeding value" for a particular trait.
So with this in mind if you go to the puppy page, you will see the hearing record of ALL planned litters.
