Eridox Dachshunds
Breed: Dachshund | Member Since 4/10/2007
All my breeding dachsies have had:
- at least one eye test performed by a veterinary ophthalmologist + CERF eye registration,
- at least one knee (patella) test by my regular veterinarian + OFA patella registration, &
- spinal (back) test by a veterinary orthopedic specialist (no registry currently available).
Some have had extra health testing, such as genetic testing (PRA-cord1 and NCL-JO), hip testing, elbow testing, and thyroid testing. All information and documentation about the health testing my dachsies have had can be found at http://www.eridox.com/doxies/stats.php , and most can be found on the OFA and CERF websites. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Please, buyer beware!!!: If a breeder claims they health test their dogs, don't just take their word for it - ask for PROOF! If they give you numbers, check them against known, reputable databases such as http://www.offa.org and http://www.vmdb.org/cerf.html If their dog's info is not available there like they claim it is, then chances are extremely high they are NOT being honest with you!
