Our genetically health tested collies must successfully pass all health exams before breeding and all puppies are health tested before placement. That said, genetic testing is just one consideration when breeding for preservation and conservation of the breed. Epigenetic inheritance takes in to consideration how the environment’s effects (ex: environment, stress, diet, exposure to toxic substances) can influence health and be a causal factor in diseases transgenerationally. We’ve taken an integral approach to our breeding program and identified those areas we believe are key to breeding healthy collies for the next generation.
