Why Health Testing Matters in Dog Breeding

12 Jan 2025

Breeding dogs responsibly requires more than just a passion for the breed — it demands a commitment to health and genetic screening. Health testing plays a pivotal role in reducing inherited diseases and ensuring the well-being of future litters.

Through responsible breeding practices, including thorough health evaluations, breeders contribute to the long-term health of dog populations. Tests such as hip evaluations, genetic screenings, and cardiac exams help breeders make informed pairing decisions.

Investing in health testing also builds trust with prospective puppy buyers, reinforces ethical breeding standards, and ultimately leads to healthier, happier pets.
