Health

Our breeding dogs are all DNA tested for the diseases we are able to. I stay in touch with all our puppies over the years and keep notice of any health issues that show a pattern over time and look at genetic influences if any.

Affected dogs will have small, widely spaced teeth with brown discolouration and a strange texture. Whilst this is not a life-threatening condition the teeth can be painful.

Primary Closed Angle Glaucoma (PCAG) is a genetic cause of glaucoma (increased pressure in the eye). Untreated glaucoma can result in eye pain and blindness. There is a DNA test available to identify whether a breeding dog is carrying this genetic cause of glaucoma.
