Genetic Health Test Panels

Genetic Health Test Panels are a group of genetic tests that are run together, usually for a specific breed. There are "Essential" panels, for the most common genetic diseases found in the breed, and there are "Supplemental" panels that include less common genetic diseases found in the breed. "Additional Disease Tests" refers to tests that are available for the breed although the diseases are uncommon in the breed.

In 2019 we have begun to use the Genetic Health Test Panels for our new dogs. While the genetic testing that we have always done for our dogs covers the most common genetic diseases for each breed, the new Genetic Health Test Panels include a more comprehensive list of genetic diseases. This page is organized according to breed. We will add more panels to the page as more of our young dogs complete them.

The number of tests in each panel is extensive, too many tests to list for each individual dog on our PARENT DOGS page. When we have done a panel for a dog, we will post it with the other health information for that dog. This page lists the individual tests that are in each panel.
