Hi all,

Before breeding from a bulldog what health tests are needed and what should the results be to give the ok for breeding ?

Thank you

I have ordered the HUU test but what else is there to do ?

Thank you

The kennel club strongly recommend assured breeders to have
Breed Council - health certificate for breeding stock

And has the following test as available to bulldogs

DNA test - HUU
Canine Multi-focal Retinopathy (CMR)
DNA test - DM
Coat Colour Gene Variations
Canine Mask Test

Brilliant thank you.. I shall research each one of these and get them ordered or booked for as soon as possible :-)

I think the last one may be a coloir test like the one above it, can't seem to find any info on it. But unless trying to get or avoid a certain coloir I don't see why anyone would need to know what colour genes a dog had. I know ive seen adds for pups who they say carry a colour so they are asking more money for them so I guess that's why some want to know.

fantastic jostockbridge..i might delete this thread and keep the other one open as it might cause confusion with both being on so if its not here and you have any more info that would help me please feel free to comment on the other post :-)

Your welcome ;)
