[@McCannDogs]

Genetic testing is the hallmark of a great breeder! So glad you're sharing this for all prospective puppy buyers!

McCann Dogs Thank you McCann dogs! I appreciate it! You guys are so helpful and I encourage everyone to search for "McCann Dogs" for amazing dog training tutorials! Chris

Chris, the integrity that you bring to your passion, breeding Berners is awe inspiring. If we all practiced our own professions with such character the world would be a better place. God speed, Brian

Brian Reitmeier Thank You Brian! I simply love my dogs and I'm so blessed to work with amazing families! For me being a reputable breeder means putting my dogs first! Thank you so much for watching!

I feel like I watched a 10 minute ad

At what age can you test the dogs? Can young puppies be tested?

[@BerneseOfTheRockies]

Gary Rees Hi Gary! Great question. So to the best of my knowledge genetics and DNA does not change, so GenSol, the lab that does all of my genetic testing have never prevented me from testing a puppy or an adult dog. Now hips and elbows, yes age is a big deal. Yet with genetics I don't see why you cannot test a puppy! Thank you again for asking! Chris

Thanks Chris, I'm wanting to start breeding B. M. D. (But this could apply to any breed.) I would think this would be helpful in getting started with good dogs to started with. If they test out OK you keep the pup. The test would be done and your not out any money because (I) would have tested them anyway. If not, (since most breeders give you a guarantee) you could send it back get your money back and look for a better dog. I know this will add more to your start up cost. If you wait and test later your stuck with a dog you don't want to use. You would only have to do this for your starting foundation. I,m sure this would not set well with the breeder. But this would be MY foundation stock and my money. I would think any one getting started would want to start out with the best dogs you could find. Any thoughts? Gary

Can you tell me can order a test from GenSol that tests for everything in one? It looks like you can only order by each disease or color which is $40 each

[@aaraujo306]

Which is better GenSol or Embark?

[@RiceKurry]

wrong type of test. This genetic testing is looking for genetic defects or possible diseases to know if the dog is healthy and good breeding stock.

[@aaraujo306]

@@RiceKurry no, Embark does offer genetic testing for genetic defects. I did Embark for Breeders.

280 for 7 tests is not cheap

Try 362 smh but it’s worth it for me I really hope to stud out my male and see what he produces

[@defrey3888]

Wtf is this a sponsor

[@vanessafinnegan4516]

Sorry but there is no such thing as a good breeder....if you love dogs you shouldn't be in a business that contributes to thousands of dogs being euthanized in shelters every year... adopt don't shop. Dogs are individuals not things.

[@dobiestud3198]

Why are you so negative ppl breed dogs for money but if you treat your dogs right and love them who are you to be negative ok you went and recused a dog great but most ppl want a pure breed puppy of their choice stop being negative oh yeah was your rescue free or did you pay anything smh

[@chrisvalentine8250]

people who invest thousands and thousands of dollars, purchasing there dogs from reputable breeders aren't likely to take there dog to a shelter. Why are you on this page if you are against the topic of discussion? Dip Shit!

[@chrisvalentine8250]

how do you think dogs exist they have to have sex or no dogs would exist at all period

[@amandaowens586]

If I want a doberman that meets the breed standard where do I get one? Oh yes a breeder! Smh

[@beanerschnitzel794]

You are uninformed have a very small mind, if we did not breed we would have a world of dangerous suck mongrels you are a delusional thinker who uses emotion to form opinions instead of common sense logic and reason shush up with spreading more worthless news it’s not helpful to the dog world
