Night-night puppies

I told Grace, "you get in there and take care of those puppies!"

I go back aout 20 minutes later, puppies are spread out, missed Fabien on his back tummy up, so cute!

they've been fed and pottied, out for the count! too cute

Genetic Testing

Both the sire and dam are genetically tested and cleared for breeding. What does that mean to the puppies and their new families?

Peace of Mind!

Grace wasn't feeling well yesterday, off to the vets we went! Seems she was a little dehydrated with some diaherria.

The vet did a full blood work on her. Tested her thyroid, blood sugar, hips in case she had developed something, overall infection, x-ray to make sure there wasn't any blockage or remaining placenta, and the test for Addisons (ACTH and LDDS). Everything is clear! yeah!! I didn't know you could actually test for addisons and she's clear of that too.

great news!

Grace and Everad's puppies are clear for addisons with both tested and clear for breeding with their hips, CERF eyes, prcd DNA PRA, thyroid, etc.

Everad is also clear by parentage for vWd and prcd PRA DNA, if you click on his pedigree/testing on our website all of that is also listed.

also ... Everad's momma Clarabella has been tested for DLA. It's a DNA test that tracts how common a poodle is from time began. As it turns out, Clarabella is one of those poodles that are tnot a grab bag of poodles. She has all six varieties with ones and sixes. Very uncommon.
