Health Testing

At Northern Ireland Australian Labradoodles, the health and well-being of our breed are of paramount importance to us. We take great pride in our ethical breeding practices and strive to produce fundamentally healthy puppies with exceptional genetic traits. To achieve this, all our breeding dogs undergo a rigorous and comprehensive health testing regime, encompassing a range of crucial examinations.

1. Genetic Inherited Disease Tests:

Our first priority is to minimize the risk of genetic issues that may affect the long-term health of our puppies. To accomplish this, we conduct over 200+ genetic inherited disease tests on our breeding dogs. These tests are designed to identify any potential hereditary health concerns, allowing us to make informed decisions in our breeding program.

2. BVA Hip X-rays:

We believe in promoting the soundness and mobility of our Australian Labradoodles. Therefore, we perform BVA Hip X-rays on our breeding dogs, which are then submitted for scoring. This assessment helps us assess the hip joint health and ensure that our dogs have strong and healthy hips.

3. BVA Elbow X-rays:

Similarly, we conduct BVA Elbow X-rays on our breeding dogs, which are also submitted for scoring. This evaluation helps us assess the elbow joint health, ensuring that our dogs have good elbow structure and minimizing the risk of elbow dysplasia.

4. BVA Eye Test:

As vision is a vital aspect of a dog's well-being, we prioritize eye health in our breeding program. We perform BVA Eye Tests on our dogs to check for any inherited eye conditions, ensuring that our puppies are free from hereditary eye diseases.

With these thorough examinations, we aim to breed Australian Labradoodles that are not only genetically clear of hereditary diseases but also exhibit sound hip and elbow structure, as well as healthy eyes. Our commitment to responsible breeding practices extends beyond just the initial testing phase. When you take home your Northern Ireland Australian Labradoodle puppy, we provide a full 2-year genetic health guarantee, offering you the highest level of assurance in the quality and care of our breeding program.

Our dedication to producing healthy, happy, and genetically clear puppies is a reflection of our genuine love and passion for the Australian Labradoodle breed. We firmly believe that by upholding stringent health testing and ethical breeding practices, we can continue to contribute to the well-being and longevity of these beloved companions.
