I am also so very proud of our lovely Lola AKA Prata's Girl From Copacabana (out of Q1 and Anitta) who just got her CHIC (Canine Health Information Center) number from the OFA (Orthopedic Foundation for Animals) after being submitted and approved on 10 OFA canines health screening tests, 9 of those tests being specific for the OES breed. However, we go beyond the requirements when it comes to health testing our breeding dogs. Among those health tests Lola has been tested for, you will find Hips Dysplasia (Excellent), Elbows Dysplasia (Normal), BAER / Congenital Deafness (Normal - bilaterally), Eyes / CAER (Normal), Thyroid (Normal), EIC / Exercise Induced Collapse (Clear), Cardiac Evaluation (Normal), Cerebellar Degeneration (Clear), Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia / PCD (Clear) and Multiple Drug Sensitivity - MDR1 (Carrier). These health tests are the primary health tests that any and all breeders should perform on their dogs before pairing them for breeding purposes. They are recommended by the OES parent club here in America. Also, a good breeder should have the results publicly published on the OFA website for further verification purposes and for history.
