PSS -
As far as health testing on these puppies.... basing what I know of the three breeds in their makeup, I'd expect the following tests:
OFA Hips
OFA Elbows
Shoulder consult
BAER
Holter (performed annually, and before each planned litter)
annual CERF
TNS test
annual thyroid panel (through MSU or other OFA accepted lab)
Optigen (for collie eye anomaly)
MDS screening through WSU VCPL
And no, these tests are not included in yearly checkups.
