Limited Registration
Our puppies will come with AKC registration. Beginning in 2023 all our litters will be sold with limited registration to help prevent uneducated breeding. If you are interested in a puppy but would like to have the option of breeding in the future please reach out. For an additional fee we will provide full registration.

Genetic Testing
All dogs used in our program have gone through genetic testing to help ensure you have a healthy puppy. Each breed has its own set of tests.
In our Ivory Labs we look for genes that cause muscle fiber deficiency, exercise induced collapse, nasal parakeratosis, corneal dystrophy, retinal atrophy, retinal dysplasia, skeletal dysplasia, and Stargardt disease.
In German Shorthairs we test for acral mutilation, cone degeneration, degenerative myelopathy, hyperuricosuria, and Von Willebrand Disease II.
OFA Labrador Eye Testing
Many eye conditions are believed to be genetic. Through eye testing with a board certified Optometrist we can determine if a dog is showing any signs of a condition that could be passed on to future litters.
