Health Testing (DNA)

All of our breeding dogs are health tested by Embark. These are the CORE DNA tests that we do here at Kinzor Kennels. We actually do over 200 screenings with DNA testing. If you have questions, we will gladly discuss and share. Most tests are done thru Embark, but we have done some specific testing with Paw Print Genetics in order to ensure we did not have any hidden merle genes in our sires, especially since we have a merle dam.
