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
- tested via a professional DNA panel
- 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.
❤️ What does this mean for you?
When you buy a puppy from us, you choose:
- a healthy start
- a transparent breeder

We do everything to breed not only beautiful, but above all healthy and stable poodles.
