At God’s Little Aussies, health testing is not just a step in the process—it’s our commitment to you and your puppy. We want every family to feel confident that their new companion has been given the healthiest possible start in life.

🤎 Our Focus

✔️ Peace of Mind

Health testing gives you confidence in your decision. It ensures your puppy begins life with the strongest foundation possible.

✔️ Inherited Conditions

We test for common inherited conditions that can affect vision, mobility, neurological function, and overall well-being. This helps us pair dogs responsibly and protect future generations.

✔️ A Healthy Start

By screening parent dogs, we reduce risks and safeguard the well-being of every puppy long before they are born.

🤎 Three Pillars of Health Testing

1. Genetic Health Testing

Every breeding dog in our program undergoes DNA testing for hundreds of known genetic conditions. This allows us to:

Rule out carriers of serious inherited diseases.

Ensure we only pair dogs in safe, responsible ways.

Provide transparency about what’s behind every puppy we raise.

2. OFA Certifications

Many of our dogs undergo official OFA (Orthopedic Foundation for Animals) evaluations for hips, elbows, patellas, eyes, and heart. These certifications provide nationally recognized proof of soundness.

3. Veterinary Evaluations

For certain screenings, we rely on the expertise of our trusted veterinarian. Sedated x-rays and in-clinic health checks ensure accuracy, comfort, and reliable results—especially when unsedated positioning might not show the full picture.

✔️Together, these three pillars give the clearest, most reliable insight into our dogs’ health—and the peace of mind that comes from knowing we’ve gone the extra mile.

🤎 Why It Matters

Testing is not about a list of acronyms—it’s about what those results mean for your family: a puppy with the best chance at a healthy, happy life.

🤎 Focus On Outcomes

We don’t just say what we test for. We share how it impacts your puppy’s future health, mobility, and quality of life.

🤎 Open Conversation

Transparency matters. We welcome your questions about how and why we test.

🤎 In Short…

By combining genetic health testing, OFA certifications, and veterinary evaluations, we protect the future of every puppy we raise. This is our promise: every Heartmender deserves the healthiest beginning, and every family deserves the peace of mind that comes with it.
