Genetic Testing
At Texas Bernedoodle Dynasty, we are extremely proud of the health and genetic excellence of our dogs. Through our dedicated breeding program, we have successfully eliminated all negative genes from our breeding lines. As a result, all of our dames and sires are genetically perfect, making additional genetic testing on the puppies unnecessary.
Previously, our comprehensive testing covered over 248 genetic concerns and focused on the health, temperament, and visual traits of the dogs. Now, thanks to our meticulous breeding practices, we have insured that our puppies will be healthy, have excellent temperaments, and exhibit the desired physical traits.
For your peace of mind, we are happy to provide genetic testing upon request before you purchase a puppy. Additionally, we can make the genetic tests for the litter parents available to you. We are proud to offer puppies that already meet the highest standards of genetic integrity and well-being, ensuring they will be happy and healthy throughout their lives.
1. Selecting Healthy Parentage
Comprehensive genetic testing on our dames & sires is where it started. Through years of careful selection we have achieved genetic perfection. This testing screened for hereditary health conditions and to confirm that the selected parents are free from all known genetic disorders. We only pair dogs with clean bills of health, which eliminated the risk of passing on genetic diseases to offspring.
2. Targeted Genetic Panels
Our genetic testing included a range of targeted panels that assess specific genetic markers associated with breed-specific health concerns. This approach allowed us to be precise in identifying potential health risks and addressing them effectively. Commonly screened conditions included hip and elbow dysplasia, eye disorders, and various genetic diseases that may affect Bernedoodles.
3. Responsible Breeding Practices
Genetic testing enabled us to make informed decisions when selecting breeding pairs. By combining dogs with optimal genetic profiles, we strive to produce puppies with the best chance of inheriting good health and robust genetics. This approach is essential in maintaining and improving the breed's overall health and well-being.
4. Transparency and Peace of Mind
We believe in transparency, and we readily share the results of our genetic testing with our clients. This openness allows you to make informed decisions when choosing a puppy. It also gives you peace of mind, knowing that your future companion is less unlikely to develop genetic health issues.
5. Continuous Monitoring
Genetic testing is an ongoing process. We regularly monitor and update our breeding dogs' genetic profiles to adapt to new discoveries in the field of canine genetics. This ensures that we stay at the forefront of responsible breeding practices.
At Texas Bernedoodle Dynasty, we prioritize the health and genetic soundness of our dogs. Our commitment to genetic testing is a testament to our dedication to producing healthy, happy, and well-rounded Bernedoodles, assuring you of the highest standards of quality and integrity in our breeding program.
