Hi
can anyone advise on the recommended health tests for a doberman please?

KC recommended tests for all breeds here

Yikes.

Add to the KC list hypothyroidism (annual check) and DCM (dilated cardiomyopathy, annual check).  Both are HUGE problems within the breed - DCM especially, it's currently affecting something like 60% of all dobes and is downrght vicious in the breed (average survival times are horrendously low compared to other breeds).

I cannot believe the KC doesn't have it on their list :(

I'd also want to research the lines for instances of Wobblers' disease - no test for it that I know of but it's also a significant problem in dobes.

The particular eye test that should be done is for PHPV (persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous) - not a massive problem as I understand it but by testing anyway, breeders stand a good chance of it not becoming one.
