Canine Genetic Testing for Healthy Puppies

At BerneCrest, the health and well-being of our dogs is a top priority. We are committed to responsible breeding practices, ensuring that every puppy is given the best possible start through careful selection, thorough health testing for dogs, and attentive care.

Genetic Health Testing

Our parent dogs undergo extensive evaluations through the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals, including hips, elbows, heart, and eyes.

All of our parent dogs undergo comprehensive DNA testing through Wisdom Panel, a trusted leader in canine genetic screening. This advanced genetic health screening allows us to identify potential genetic risks and make informed, responsible breeding decisions to support the long-term health of our puppies.

Testing may include (but is not limited to):

- Degenerative Myelopathy (DM)

- Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA)

- Von Willebrand’s Disease (vWD)

- Additional breed-relevant genetic conditions

We carefully review all results and only breed dogs that are clear of all tested genetic conditions and meet our standards for health and genetic soundness.

Selective Pairing

Each pairing at BerneCrest is thoughtfully planned with health, temperament, and structure in mind. We consider:

- Genetic compatibility based on DNA results

- Temperament balance

- Overall quality and conformation

Our goal is to consistently produce puppies that are not only beautiful but also healthy and well-rounded.

Veterinary Care

Every BerneCrest puppy receives attentive veterinary care before going home. This includes:

- A full health examination by a licensed veterinarian

- Age-appropriate vaccinations

- Routine deworming

We closely monitor each puppy’s development to ensure they are thriving during their early weeks of life.

Early Care & Environment

Our puppies are raised in a clean, nurturing, and hands-on environment. From birth, they receive daily interaction and early socialization, which supports both their physical health and emotional development. We believe that proper early care plays a critical role in raising confident, well-adjusted puppies.
