DNA checks on our  poodles

At Woefkesranch, health comes first.
We breed carefully selected parents who have been thoroughly tested,
so you can welcome your new best friend with peace of mind.

🐾 Why choose a tested poodle puppy?

A good start is crucial. Hereditary conditions can have a major impact on the life of a dog and its owner.

That’s why we consciously choose:

• extensive health tests
• thoughtful parent pairings
• transparency with our customers

👉 This significantly reduces the risk of hereditary problems.

🧬 DNA-tested parents (more than the standard)

Our poodles are tested according to the Flemish guidelines and beyond.

Mandatory tests for poodles:

• PRA (eye disease – blindness)
• Degenerative Myelopathy (neurological disease)

Additional tests we perform:

• Von Willebrand (blood clotting)
• Ichthyosis (skin)
• Osteochondrodysplasia (skeletal)

👉 In addition, we use comprehensive DNA panels that check hundreds of hereditary conditions.

📄 Example: Léo v/d Woefkesranch

• clear of all tested conditions

👁️ Clinical checks: as important as DNA

Not everything is genetically visible. That’s why we also check:

• Knees (patellar luxation)
• Eyes (regular eye exams)
• General health

👉 This follows the official Flemish breeding guidelines.

🐶 Smart pairings = healthy puppies

A dog can be healthy, yet still be a carrier of a gene.

That’s why we look not only at individual tests, but at:

✔ combination of parent dogs
✔ genetic diversity
✔ avoiding risky pairings

👉 This is the key to responsible breeding.

👶 DNA parent verification for puppies

Each puppy can be checked through:

✔ DNA parentage verification

This means:

• certainty about the parents
• correct bloodline
• extra reliability

👉 You know exactly where your puppy comes from.
