Health Testing
Healthy Parents. Healthy Puppies.
At Island Doodles, every puppy begins with carefully selected, health-tested parents. Before any dog enters our breeding program, they complete comprehensive health and genetic evaluations to help us make thoughtful, informed breeding decisions.
Our parent dogs receive:
✔️ OFA Hip Evaluations
✔️ OFA Elbow Evaluations
✔️ OFA Patella Evaluations
✔️ OFA Cardiac Evaluations
✔️ OFA Eye Certifications
✔️ Comprehensive Genetic DNA Testing
Health testing allows us to make responsible pairings, reduce the risk of inherited conditions, and continue improving each generation. While no breeder can guarantee a puppy will never experience a health issue, we believe careful planning and health testing provides the strongest possible foundation for a long, healthy life.
Transparency Matters: We are happy to discuss our health testing and provide documentation for the parents of your puppy upon request.
