We are committed to the highest standards of genetic screening, which is why we utilize comprehensive Embark DNA Health Testing on all breeding parents to screen for over 250 genetic conditions. We only strive to breed dogs certified as Clear for known genetic risks to minimize the chance of these issues appearing in the litter.
