About Paddy
Hip: HD-A - Elbows: ED-0 Paddy is imported from the Ukraine and we brought him in to our home in the fall of 2021. Paddy is a social butterfly who loves people and other dogs. He quickly becomes a favorite where ever he goes. He also is very able and willing to rise to occasion, should he be needed, to guard or warn. He has the GSD trait of aloofness when at home when he meets strangers but will warm to them over time. He has a very thick long coat and is considered a blanket back or melanistic GSD in color.

Stony Lonesome GSD 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 German Shepherds.
Hip Dysplasia
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.
Temperament Test
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.
Degenerative Myelopathy (DM; SOD1A)
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).
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
