Health

Health testing is particularly important prior to breeding at Kidkees. We earn CHIC numbers on our dogs by testing hips, elbows, patellas and eyes and listing results with Orthopedic Foundation of Animals (OFA).  Our dogs are PHPT negative, either by testing or by descent. We use only stud dogs with the same high standards.

Kidkees takes health testing very seriously since it is not only good to be a healthy, well-structured dog, but also to be able to actually enjoy life as long as possible–whether that be as a companion, a show dog, or a mix of both. We love competing in agility and the conformation ring, both of which require that the dog be structurally-sound, mentally sharp, and working as a team with their owner.
