Hearing - The BAER exam is performed once in a lifetime. It is performed by a veterinary neurologist. BAER stands for Brainstem Auditory Evoked Response. The test can be done as young as 8 weeks.
Knees - The patella exam is performed by a regular veterinarian. It is done by physically manipulating the knee joint to see if it can dislocate or luxate. A dog must be twelve months old for patella results to be registered with OFA. The first formal test can be done at twelve months. It is recommended that the knees be rechecked/recertified every two years.
We are very particular about who our puppies will spend their lives with. Every potential home is required to complete our questionnaire, provide references, and have a personal interview.
Here

of our dogs back at any age, for any reason, regardless of health or behavior. No questions asked.
