At our Pickerel Pups, we believe in complete transparency and exceptional health standards. That's why we conduct genetic testing on every single dog - including each puppy. This thorough screening helps us ensure each puppy is set up for a healthy, vibrant life. 

 

Every family who adopts one of our puppies receives their own Embark report package specific to their puppy. While we already know our parent dogs have clear genetic panels, this extra step gives you complete confidence in your puppy's health background. You'll receive detailed information about your puppy's genetic makeup, potential adult size, coat characteristics, and more - no surprises!

 

This commitment to genetic testing is just one way we work to provide you with a healthy, well-adjusted companion.

 

Embark package to include;

 

- DNA Health summary

- Identify and prevent the passing of 250 breed specific hereditary health conditions

- Discover 55 traits like coat colors, predicted adult weight, furnishings, shedding, curly coat, plus so many more.

We believe that DNA testing is the new standard of care- and we include this as a bonus to our buyers, at no additional charge. Our families can take their copy to their first vet appointment to ensure accurate health records.
