IF YOU WANT A BEAUTIFUL PUPPY NOW CLICK LINK BELOW "FRIENDS PUPS FOR SALE" PAGE, THEY HAVE BEAUTIFUL PUPPIES AND A FEW ADULTS ALSO WAITING TO BE ADOPTED.
|
ALL OF OUR DOGS ARE AKC REGISTERED ALL OF OUR DOGS ARE HEALTH TESTED PRA SOME HAVE HAD OTHER EXTENSIVE TESTS RUN AS WELL SUCH AS VwD, CDM, THYROID, PATELLAS ETC... OUR PUPS ARE SEEN BY A VET AND HAVE HAD A COMPLETE PHYSICAL/DEWORMING/VACCINES TO DATE. AND THEY ARE CRATE TRAINED AND NEWSPAPER TRAINED TO HELP YOU WITH THE PROCESS. UNDER FOOT AND WELL SOCIALIZED!
|



WE BELIEVE IN HEALTH TESTING AND WANT TO ASSURE YOU THAT ALL OF OUR ADULTS ARE EITHER HEALTH TESTED DIRECTLY OR HAVE BEEN CLEARED THROUGH THE HEALTH TESTING BEING DONE ON THEIR PARENTS. BECAUSE WE TAKE THE TIME AND MONEY TO HAVE OUR DOGS TESTED FOR THESE GENETIC ISSUES, WE CAN GIVE YOU THE PIECE OF MIND YOU DESERVE. WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO PURCHASE A PUPPY WITHOUT IT? WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO BE THE ONE SPENDING COUNTLESS HOURS AND UNNECESSARY ADDED EXPENSES AT THE VETS OFFICE? WE ARE THE ONES TAKING THE EXTRA TIME AND CARE TO ASSURE THAT OUR PUPPIES ARE NOT BEING SOLD TO YOU AS SUCH SO THAT YOU CAN ENJOY YOUR PUPPY WITHOUT THE WORRIES. PAYING EXTRA FOR A PUPPY THAT HAS BEEN HEALTH TESTED GENETICALLY, RATHER THAN HAVING TO TAKE A GAMBLE ON ONE THAT IS NOT, WOULD BE THE THING THAT I WOULD CERTAINLY DO. WOULDN'T YOU?

PRA = Progressive Retinal Atrophy : a condition which
results in retinal degeneration and blindness in the
affected dog. The Canine Eye Registration Foundation
(CERF) records examination findings by board-certified
veterinary opthalmologists on examined dogs, which also
include any other eye disease. You can verify current
annual certification at http://www.vmdb.org/verify.html .
In addition, toys and miniatures can utilize Optigen DNA
testing for the PRCD form of PRA, which most commonly
afflicts these varieties.
NOTE ABOUT "Optigen A by parentage": Since Optigen's
test for PRCD is DNA-based, if both parents are clear for
PRCD by an "A" test result, they CAN'T pass on the gene
for PRCD to offspring. Thus, some toy poodles are now
"Optigen A by parentage" -- a wonderful benchmark of
progress by careful breeders against this form of
genetically transmitted eye disease.
Patellar Luxation : "slipped stifles" are a common
problem in small breeds. In toy and miniature poodles,
this is an inherited structural difference in the stifle (knee
joint) that can lead to abnormal gait, lameness, and
degenerative joint disease.
Thyroid : just like people, dogs can suffer from
hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid). Common
symptoms are obesity, hair loss, fatigue, skin problems,
and infertility. Hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) is
much rarer in dogs.
vWD = von Willebrand's disease : a bleeding disorder
resulting in unabated bleeding, either spontaneous (from
the membranes of nose, mouth or GI tract) or resulting
from wounds or surgery. von Willebrand's disease is
detectable by DNA testing performed by VetGen or InGen,
so a potential breeding dog can be certified as clear, or
determined to be a carrier or affected.
NOTE ABOUT "vWD clear by parentage": This works like
the notation under PRCD above -- if both parents have
tested genetically clear of vWD, they CAN'T pass it on to
their progeny. By breeding only from vWD clear parents,
conscientious breeders ensure that pups will not be
affected.
Like many breeds, Poodles have a number of genetically transmitted
health conditions to which they may be susceptible. To reduce the
incidence of these genetic conditions in litters, conscientious breeders
have their breeding stock health screened to determine whether their
animals are affected. Ask questions. A good breeder will be happy to tell
you that their dogs have been tested with favorable results, and provide
you with a multigeneration pedigree.
And remember, a good, ethical breeder will want to interview you as much
as you want to interview them. A breeder who has put this much effort
into their breeding line will be particular about where their carefully bred
pups have their forever home.
The poodle is a great breed. With careful attention to genetic health
screening, it can be a great breed with a much lesser incidence of these
troubling conditions. When your curly baby has lived to a respectable age
in good health, you'll be glad you took the extra time to ask about testing.
We have a new litter on "puppy page 3" one
cream male. He will be under 4 lbs guaranteed.
And a new litter of 7 babies on "puppy page
4"... male's and female's available to have
deposits placed...some will be very small as
adults....thanks so much for looking!
2 FEMALES HAVE DEPOSITS ALREADY...
1 MALE HAS A DEPOSIT
