Our Breeding Practices
Behaviour and socialisation
Our puppies are raised inside our home and exposed to normal household life from day one- children, visitors, everyday noises and gentle handling. They enjoy time both inside and outside, learning to explore, play and build confidence. We work on early socialisation, introducing new textures, sounds, toys and short…
Health
Puppies are wormed regularly, vaccinated, and microchipped before leaving us. They are fed a high quality diet and monitored closely to ensure they grow strong and healthy. Our breeding dogs are well cared for, have received vet checks and live as part of our family. We aim to provide healthy pups with a great start…
Home environment
Our puppies are raised right in the heart of our family home, not in kennels. They grow up surrounded by everyday household life- kids, visitors, normal sounds, play, and plenty of gentle handling. Because they’re included in our daily routine, they become confident, calm and well adjusted pups. They spend time both…
Included with our puppies
• Vaccination record • Microchip paperwork • Worming up to date • A small puppy pack (food they’re currently eating + a familiar blanket with mum’s scent and a toy) • A puppy that has been raised in a loving, social family environment
Health Tests
Core Tests(0/1)
Point Lonsdale Whippets conducts 0 out of 1 core health tests which RightPaw believe are most important to conduct for the Whippet.
Additional Tests
Point Lonsdale Whippets conducts 3 additional tests available for the Whippet.
Genetic TestCanine/Collie Eye Anomaly (CEA), also known as ‘Choroidal Hypoplasia’ (CH), is a genetic disease affecting the retina. It varies in severity but can cause blindness. The gene responsible has been found in many Collie breeds, so while breeders can perform a DNA test for CEA, it is still recommended to pair this with an Eye Certificate from a veterinary opthalmologist.
- Genetic Test
The MDR-1 gene (Multi-drug Resistance Gene 1) is responsible for producing proteins that protect the brain from harmful chemicals. Some breeds have a mutation in this gene resulting in them being dangerously sensitive to certain chemicals and drugs. It is recommended to test these breeding dogs for the MDR-1 mutation, so they do not pass on the sensitivity to their puppies.
- Genetic Test
Canine Phosphofructokinase (PFK) Deficiency is a genetic disease resulting in low levels of the PFK enzyme. It can result in extreme muscle fatigue, muscle cramping and severe anaemia. There is a DNA test available to identify if a breeding dog is carrying this condition.
