Health Testing at Le Harrell's Poodles

At LH Poodles in Falcon, Colorado, we prioritize health, structure, and longevity in every breeding decision. All of our breeding dogs undergo comprehensive health testing appropriate for Standard and Miniature Poodles, with results verifiable through OFA.org.

TESTING WE PERFORM

Depending on the dog and variety, our breeding dogs may undergo:

  • OFA and/or PennHip Hip Evaluation

  • OFA Elbow Evaluation

  • OFA Cardiac Examination

  • CAER Eye Examination

  • Patellar Evaluation

  • Genetic DNA Testing through reputable laboratories

  • UC Davis Genetic Diversity Testing (when applicable)

  • BetterBred diversity analysis (when applicable)

  • AKC DNA profiles on all males to prove parentage

  • Part of AKC's Bred with H.E.A.R.T Program

WHY HEALTH TESTING MATTERS

Health testing helps identify inherited conditions before breeding decisions are made. By testing our dogs, we reduce the likelihood of passing on preventable genetic diseases.

VERIFICATION

Direct OFA links are provided on each individual dog's personal page. All results are publicly verifiable through the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals database, The Canine Health Information Center | OFA
