Comprehensive Health Screenings & DNA Testing

 

We take health seriously. Every breeding dog in our program completes a combination of genetic testing, OFA evaluations, and veterinary exams, depending on their age and the recommendations for Cairn Terriers.

​

Because each dog’s completed tests may differ based on age, timing, or recommendations, the testing for every parent is listed on their individual profile.
Just click the sire or dam name on a puppy’s listing to view their results.

​

OFA Transparency

​

Many structural and eye screenings are completed through the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA).

​

OFA results are publicly searchable, so you can independently confirm any dog’s testing by visiting ofa.org and entering the registered name of the dog.

 

(Preliminary tests taken prior to one year of age are not publicly viewable, we update all prelim tests when a OFA clinic near us is available, dogs that have only received preliminary tests have hard copies available to share upon request)
