Health Testing

Health is at the heart of everything we do at Alphapups. We routinely eye test all our breeding dogs every year with a BVA eye test, and every dog is patella scored, hip and elbow scored, heart tested, and DNA tested before joining our breeding programme.

Full certificates and results are available on request — see below for a summary of where each of our dogs is up to.
