Making a Difference In health standards
Why we push for all breeders to health test
We want to do whats right for the Russian Salon Dog breed, and make better, more informed decisions in regards to breeding. Because of the newness of the breed we have set a standard of health testing ALL adults and puppies. This is done prior to the placement of a puppy to a new home and prior to breeding adults. It is our hopes that we will be able to create a spreadsheet to track all genetic markers. This includes health, color, and other traits in order to establish a basis of required health testing that could specifically, affect the breed in a negative way. At this time we are not eliminating any carriers of genetic health issues but are instead requiring that any carrier be bred to a clear.
All Heath Testing Results can now be submitted to the Orthopedic Foundation For Animals for certificates.
Why color testing is important
Russian Salons come in TWO color groups. (Reds, Creams) and (Other Colors) We are prohibited from crossing the two-color groups together. Color testing helps breeders know what color grouping their Russian Salon Dogs fall under.
