The OFA created the Canine Health Information Center (CHIC) by partnering with participating parent clubs to research and maintain information on the health issues prevalent in specific breeds. Below are links to recommended breed-specific health screening protocols. OFA recognizes that the more information stored and accessible in these databases, the better it will be for every breed. While we wait for the breed to become an AKC recognized breed, we will pursue these standards in our breeding practice.

An Embark DNA test enables a dog owner to learn about their pup’s breed, ancestry, health, relatives, and more with a simple cheek swab. With a research-grade DNA genotyping platform, Embark looks at over 250 breeds and more than 175 genetic health conditions and traits.
