When looking for a quality,responsible breeder, make sure they report the proper health testing on both the Sire and the Dam. Health testing for each breed is different. Health testing should NOT be hidden or incomplete. Embark DNA is NOT a fully health tested dog. Picking and choosing tests are NOT considered a fully health tested dog. Health reporting should ALWAYS be displayed clearly for both the Sire and the Dam. Buying a puppy below the standard only supports breeders choosing the shortcut route, and undermining the breeders who pour their heart and soul into only bringing the absolute best into the world. 

If one of my dogs does not pass their health testing, they are spayed/neutered and are forever a part of my life and family. Health testing should be at the  forefront of a breeding program as well as an honest evaluation of the dog's temperament. 

What does it mean to have a PASSING health tested dog? Keep reading...

Hips: OFA- Excellent, Good, Fair = PASSING / PENNHIP- Varies based on the result. 

Elbow: PASS/FAIL

DNA: Breed specific tests MUST pass- usually a dog is a carrier of something. As long as it is not life threatening, causes harm to offspring, expressible, you make sure to not breed too another carrier, and of course discuss with the vet. 

Eyes: PASS/FAIL 

Heart: PASS/FAIL

Let's talk about Seizures. Saint Bernard's are genetically more susceptible to seizures. But wait, cant you test for that? Unfortunately, there is no genetic test for this. So, this leaves us with knowing the Saint lineage. Avoiding lines that have seizures is the best we can do as reputable breeders. There is value in having a breeder with this type of knowledge. Even so, there are environmental factors that play a role, such as: Mold, plants, medication (human & animal), household cleaners, pest control products, various pest poisons, air pollutants, etc. 

I have read from other breeders' pages- that if a dog tests out with Mild to Moderate Hip Dysplasia it is still okay to breed if they are showing no symptoms. This is absolutely UNETHICAL. Do NOT be fooled into believing this lie because they make it sound 'not that bad', or they can live normal lives with bad hips, or keeping them lean helps, or exercise will make it better. While yes these all help , it does not mean the dog is NOT in pain, it is NOT bettering the outcome of the offspring,  and it is NOT being responsible. Another fun fact: ALL dogs will end up with some kind of arthritis in old age. It does NOT mitigate the fact that you are justifying breeding a non passing dog. Even dogs with Excellent hips will have some sort of arthritis, but let's make sure that as responsible, ethical, breeders we are lowering those risks.
