Breeder-Reported Testing

Great level

Loving Paws Teddy Bear Patch reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Shichons.

  • Hip Dysplasia (rDVM, not registered)

    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.

  • 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.

  • DNA Disease Panel

    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).

    Working with Crystal has been amazing! She was so responsive, and you can tell that our little guy was so loved by Crystal and her family. She helped with any questions I had, and made us feel at ease as first time dog owners. Banjo is a wonderful, sweet little puppy, and we are so excited for our life together with him!

    I must admit we were a bit nervous purchasing puppies online, however, Crystal calmed our fears and anxiety. She sent us pictures and videos weekly as our babies progressed. She kept in touch with me via texting as well. We could see from the videos the pups were being raised in a loving environment. Crystal loves these pups and takes great care in raising them from birth until we picked them up! I would highly recommend her as a breeder….you won’t be sorry. Our pups, Maya and Moo are now a year old! We love them to death and they return the love tenfold! They are happy, healthy and well adjusted!!

    Crystal was amazing kind and very easy to work with. This was my first experience purchasing a puppy form Good dog or online and she made it pain free. The pick up process for Moon was great. When Crystal handed her to me I was beyond excited to have this new little bundle of joy to our family. Thank you so much Crystal you are doing wonderful things with Loving Paws Teddy Bear Patch Moon came from a wonderful place and are truly blessed to have her. Thank you so much again

    I can't say enough about my experience with Loving Paws Teddy Bear Patch. Crystal was very knowledgeable about this breed and offered to do a FACETIME so that I can see my little one. If that wasn't enough, once we picked him up at the airport she had a "doggy bag" full of things: container of food, snacks, toys, shot records, and so much more. She even included an actual BIRTH CERTIFICATE and a blanket with the scent of his family! You cannot go wrong with this Patch! -Alita
