Violet has started her OFA journey now that she is a one year old!

It can be overwhelming to navigate the breeding market and what questions to ask in regard to health testing. Each breed carries its own set of health testing recommendations, so being informed on your breed ahead of time is important so that you know what to look for! French Bulldogs as a breed carry very individualized characteristics, which require some more specific health testing. Some French Bulldog-specific health testing includes:

🩻Tracheal Hypoplasia OFA screening: x-ray evaluation of the trachea for measurement of its diameter to ensure that it is not hypoplastic (overly-narrow). We know that airway anatomy is not a strong point of the breed, and having too narrow of a trachea is a potential defect that we can see in these guys, which can contribute to obstructive airway syndrome.

🩻Spinal Analysis: x-rays for evaluation of the spine. Frenchies are a chondrodystrophic breed, which is the cause of their short-legged, compact nature. This short-limb characteristic can also contribute to other skeletal anomalies such as shortening of vertebrae within the spine. Hemivertebrae (shortened) vertebrae is considered a “normal” characteristic within the breed to a certain degree. Finding a frenchie with a spine completely free of vertebral anomalies is a rare find. When we analyze a frenchie’s spine, we aren’t looking for perfect, but we are looking to determine whether their degree of spinal anomalies falls in line with “normal” breed characteristics, or whether the anomalies are to an intensity beyond the normal breed standard. Severe spinal anomalies can be detrimental/life threatening at even a young age.

🧬Genetic testing specifically for: progressive retinal atrophy (PRA-CRD4/cord1), canine multifocal retinopathy(CMR1), hyperuricosuria (HUU), juvenile hereditary cataracts (JHC), cystinuria type 3- variants 2 & 3
