- Genetic Test
Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis (NCL) is a neurodegenerative disorder found in many breeds of dog. 7 varieties have been identified so far, affecting different breeds. There are DNA tests for each type, to identify whether a breeding dog might be carrying this condition.
- Genetic Test
Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI), also known as ‘brittle bone disease’, is an inherited disease in both humans and animals, causing bone fragility and fracturing. As it is a genetic disease, breeding parents can be tested to ensure it is not passed onto their puppies.

There are a variety of sub-types of PRA, which can occur in various breeds. There are various DNA tests available to identify whether a breeding dog is carrying this condition.

Skeletal Dysplasia is an inherited form of dwarfism which causes the leg bones to grow much shorter than is proportional for the body. Affected legs will be short and slightly bowed outwards.

Please note- We will now be requesting a reservation fee if your application has been approved, this will mean in turn you will be offered a puppy. We need to do this as unfortunately we have had in the past a multitude of applications on our waiting list and then once we offer a puppy to those on the list we either get no response or they have found a puppy elsewhere, which leads to the issue of us then not having the homes we thought we had for our precious puppies and as we are a responsible breeder that is a concern as we are doing our best to only breed to demand of serious buyers.
