Genetic Test
Canine Elliptocytosis is a rare genetic disease causing the red blood cells to be abnormally elliptical in shape, rather than round. It generally does not cause a clinical problem to affected dogs, but puppies may be mildly anaemic and smaller than others. There is a DNA test available to identify if a breeding dog is carrying this disease.

Mucopolysaccharidosis is a genetic lysosomal storage disease that can cause various problems including stunted growth and bone deformities. There are a few different variants of this disease that have been identified in different breeds. For many breeds there are DNA tests available to identify if a breeding dog is carrying the condition.
Genetic Test

About the Breeder
A little about us
I first fell in love with this beautiful breed 2 decades ago & that’s when my ‘Groodle Addiction’ began.

I had bred other breeds in the past but after owning a Groodle there was no going back for me! With friends & family wanting an…
Our special touch
Each & every dog lives here with us on our rural property with all the space in the world to run, swim, play & just be happy healthy dogs. Every puppy is born in my living room & I’m with them 24/7, along with their mum and extended fur family until the day they leave with their lucky new family to start the next…
