health Issues when breeding
Ok im hoping to get a samoyed pup soon and my breeder is/has had the relevant breed tests done. So what do you have to have done in your breed? This is a question out of interest and i dont want it taken out of context.

I have cross breeds: toy poodle-bichon frise-shihtzu
We had to check for any STD's, thyroid, heart, trach, knees, elbows, hips, eyes, bite, Brucell, pateller palpitation, vaginal slide (smear). Those are just what I remember off the top of my head  Ofcourse general health, weight, UTD on vaccines and free of parasites is a given too. Also I had to have all the health clearances from my breeder back 3-5 generations-per my vet. My vet also did general temperament testing with the aid of a vet tech who performed the tests prior with the HS. Then I can't think of whether there was a name for it, but since my one girl has a very shihtzu type face she did something to check her nasal/breathing abilities.

Some people with breeds with short noses have the palate scraped . Rottweilers for me.

I found this site that might be informative:
http://www.mirage-samoyeds.com/health.htm The OptiGen XL-PRA test is a DNA-based test that provides, for the first time, a method to unequivocally identify the X-Linked form of Progressive Retinal Atrophy (XL-PRA) in the Siberian Husky and the Samoyed. This will control the gene frequency in the breed so as to prevent producing puppies affected with the disease.

Typically, Border Collies have hips and eyes tested.
I plan to test hips, eyes, thyroid, cardiac and possibly patellas.
