On this page you find updates on Show Results, Health testing, and Temperament tests. Please check back often, as we will try to keep it updated and current.

   All our dogs health tests are available on the OFA website at http://www.offa.org/

*Health Alert: I take the responsibility for my dogs and the breed and have my dogs checked by board certified cardiologists for their heart exams. Unfortunately Tonka and Amber both have cardiac problems, but should be able to live long, healthy lives. I cannot stress the fact enough to please have your dogs health tested and when doing cardiac, use a certified cardiologist. No offense to any of them, but veternarians are not detecting these murmers and many dogs are "cleared" when in fact they can actually have severe cardiac problems. The OFA site is a great tool to use when researching health testing, and they do state, when a dog has had cardiac done, whether it was by a vet or a cardiologist. After the cardiac results and #, you will see a P for vet and a C for cardiologist. If looking for a puppy or dog, please ask if the parents have been cleared, and if a cardiologist was used. If you can find a puppy with 2 generations cleared, it is even better, and you have a greater chance of getting a healthy puppy. I have added some links to my Links page with information on cardiology and canine health. Please be responsible for the breed and future owners, and health test your dogs.
