Breeder Referral
The Bernese Mountain Dog Club of America recommends all breeders perform the follow health tests on all breeding stock: (http://www.bmdca.org/health/tests.php)
*AKC DNA Profile (to document parentage)
*DNA test for von Willebrand’s Disease TYPE 1 (VetGen or GenSol )
*Hip Dysplasia (OFA or PennHIP evaluation)
*Elbow Dysplasia (OFA)
*Eye examination by a board certified ACVO ophthalmologist (results registered with OFA)
*Congenital cardiac exam (auscultation, OFA evaluation with cardiologist exam)
*Many breeders also test for other health issues such as degenerative myelopathy (DNA test by GenSol)
These results are available to the public for verification at either:
