We health test our border collies prior to breeding. There are several genetic conditions that are present in the breed, and therefore we will always test for these to avoid producing at-risk puppies. We also test our dogs' orthopedic integrity using OFA and PennHIP. We research the pedigrees of our breeding dogs as well as their breeding mates to avoid producing puppies with common health conditions.

​

The state of Breed Health is an on-going development as new tests, diseases, and information is made available. As more is understood through scientific analysis by laboratories as well as trends discovered through database submissions, more information will be compiled onto this website. Integrity and transparency are two core values that will help contribute to the betterment of the breed. That is why Wynversa Border Collies pledges to openly submit any and all health testing to official databases and continue to contribute to breed research as opportunities arise.
