Limited registration."

Breeder-Reported Testing

    Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.

  • Cardiac Evaluation (rDVM, not 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.

  • Patellar Luxation

    Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.

  • Urinalysis (UA), Standard Veterinary Blood Panel

    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.

    Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).

    We had an amazing experience. Their communication was excellent in that they got back to us very quickly and answered our many questions. We absolutely love our puppies. They're 10 and 11 weeks old, got a clean bill of health at the vet, and have been very responsive to training (we use the Ceasar Millan method). They're well tempered and want to please. My wife chose BB1 (Gus and Birdy litter), and he is laid back and follows her everywhere. I chose RB6 (Gus and Rainy litter), and he is a love bug with more energy that will be great for hunting. Even being littermates, they're doing well together though we crate, feed, train, and potty separately to prevent littermate syndrome. We love our new family members and highly recommended Sam and Kyle.

    Sam was very responsive and helpful with my questions. The process to adopt was smooth and clear, they provided all the necessary paperwork, some starter food, vet info, etc. Our basset hound is the sweetest, nicest dog I have ever met in my life and couldn't be happier with her.

    Millie is just a burst of joy. She is doing great. She can sit on command, doing pretty good with potty training and is doing well with recall. This weekend we are headed to MI. She will get more socialized with two other dogs and different people. She loves to snuggle in the evening. Belly rubs are a favorite!

    Sam was very easy to communicate with. It was really nice to have the puppy’s blanket and chew toy to bring home with us. The folder of information and vaccine status was very thorough. She’s a really good puppy and happy to have her.

    We had a great experience with Sam! Super communicative and we couldn’t be happy with our sweet dog! Handsome boy, up to date on his shots, and in good health. Sam also was super great on working out the date we needed to pick up as we couldn’t pick up the first weekend our dog was available. Overall, a great experience! Highly recommend!
