    Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.

  • Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)

    Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.

  • Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)

    Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.

  • Thyroid (Autoimmune Thyroiditis, registered with OFA)

    A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.

    She was incredibly responsive. Brady (f/k/a Margarita) has the sweetest, most well-balanced temperament—you can tell Kate puts a tremendous amount of care into both breeding and early training. It’s clear she’s dedicated to raising healthy, happy puppies who are ready to fit right into their new homes. Highly recommend!

    I’m so in love with my Willow girl (Snuggle)! Kate was amazing and Willow has been in the best shape ever. She’s the sweetest pup and when I get more space, I look forward to working with Kate again for another puppy!

    Nick A.

    Verified owner · Sept. 2024

    We couldn’t be happier with our experience getting our puppy from Kate! From the start, Kate was incredibly knowledgeable and attentive, providing us with detailed information about his health and background. Our puppy is in excellent health, and his intelligence is remarkable. He’s quick to learn new commands and shows impressive problem-solving skills for such a young dog. Kate clearly provided a loving and stimulating environment for the puppies, which has made all the difference in his confidence and fast learning. If you’re looking for a responsible breeder who truly cares about the well-being of her puppies, we highly recommend Kate. Our puppy has been a wonderful addition to our family!

    It was a pleasure working with Kate to adopt my bernedoodle, Vienna. Kate was very patient with all my questions. She didn’t mind because she also wanted Vienna to go to a good home. Vienna is doing great!

    Kate was an amazing breeder! I brought Hudson the Cockapoo home in August of 2024. He is doing so well and loves to play and meet other dogs. He is currently almost 4 months and I am so happy to have met Kate who was with me step by step in this process of bringing him home even from another state! 100% recommend to anyone looking to buy from a trusted / healthy breeder.
