🧬 Our Health Testing Standards

At J&O Puppies, we go beyond basic breeding practices by intentionally selecting and pairing genetically tested parents to reduce inherited disease risk and promote long-term health.

✔ Comprehensive Genetic Screening

All of our parent dogs undergo genetic testing through trusted laboratories such as Embark® to screen for hereditary conditions common to their breed backgrounds.

This allows us to:

  • Identify and avoid pairing carriers of the same genetic conditions
  • Reduce the risk of inherited disease
  • Produce healthier, more resilient companion dogs

✔ Physical Health Evaluations

In addition to genetic testing, our dogs are routinely evaluated for:

  • Patella stability
  • Cardiac health
  • Overall physical soundness

✔ Transparency & Buyer Confidence

We believe in full transparency while protecting the integrity of our program.

  • Health testing summaries are available for every parent
  • Full reports are available to approved buyers upon request

✔ Our Philosophy

Rather than relying on outdated breeding methods, we combine:

  • Modern genetic science
  • Careful pairing strategies
  • Real-world health outcomes

To produce puppies that are not only beautiful—but built for lifelong health.
