Health Screening
Health is one of the most important factor in us owning the Leavitt bulldogs, so we will everything in our power to make sure that we are producing the healthiest and happiest dogs we can - At around a year old all our dogs will be health screened with the British Veterinary Association (B.V.A) for any heredity eye diseases, and hip and elbow scored to identify any joint problems.
This is not because we know there to be problems with affecting eyes within the Leavitt bulldog breed, but we want peace of mind for both us and potential owners and most importantly the bulldogs.
Any litters we have will also be screened for eye diseases at around 4 weeks of age, this will cover both categories of potential eye conditions : Congenital and non congenital.
This is summery of the Conditions tested for and some further information on the B.V.A eye testing :
Hip Dysplasia is something that has arisen within the Leavitt bulldogs, and all breeder and owners should be aware of our dogs have all come from dogs with no history of hip dysplasis. - The Leavitt bulldog association currently screens throughrly for hip dysplasia.
If not acknowledged and avoided by breeders they can potentially be producing offspring with a life time of pain and suffering, not to mention vet bills and treatment - it is crippling disease for the dog and financially for the owners and something that will do out up most to eradicate.
