WHY HEALTH TESTING IS IMPORTANT IN A BREEDING PROGRAM

Health testing is an important part of responsible dog breeding. It is the only way to ensure that the puppies produced are healthy and free of genetic diseases. Dog breeders should be aware of the health tests available and the importance of having them done to ensure the health of their breeding stock.

Health testing is a way of screening for genetic diseases in a dog. It is important to test a dogs parents, or the breeding stock, before breeding them together. The reason for this is that some genetic diseases can be passed down from one generation to the next. By testing the parents, the breeder can determine if they carry any genetic diseases that could be passed on.

Health testing is also important for identifying any potential health issues in the puppies. For example, some genetic diseases may not be apparent until the puppy is older, such as hip dysplasia or eye diseases. By having the parents tested, the breeder can determine if the puppies are at risk of developing any of these conditions. This helps to ensure that the puppies produced are healthy and free of any genetic diseases.

Health testing can also help to ensure that the puppies produced are of good quality. By having the parents tested, the breeder can be sure that they are producing puppies that are of good standard. This helps to ensure the puppies produced are of higher quality and will be more desirable to potential buyers.

In conclusion, health testing is just a smart and responsible way to gather more information for your breeding program. By producing healthier puppies ensures a happier pet and therefor a happier pet owner.
