Health Testing
Health Testing
Here at Puriri Knoll we have been health testing all our breeding stock for many years.
This practise started off with Hip and Elbow testing around 25 years ago and has now developed into a large range of testing for various issues.
The Rhodesian Ridgeback is by and large a very healthy breed and is usually fit and very active, but this is not a reason to not know what you are carrying in your lines.
With the advent of frozen semen shipping from all areas of the globe the testing requirements are now a very important tool in the breeder’s toolbox to aid in making informed and enlightened decisions.
The lines that we have developed over many years have seen us breed dogs that are clear of of the genetic issues that are offered within the RR DNA breeding panel which allows us a wide scope of possible options in relation to potential sires for our girls.
