Liver Shunt links and information

Liver Shunt:  All the adult dogs at HouseofWags.com have been tested for Liver Shunt.  There are not any known liver shunt carriers in our dogs’ pedigrees.  Prior to placement, puppies from my home have a full canine blood panel done.  Further testing is done if deemed necessarily.  At this time, all puppies from House of Wagging Tails have had full health clearances and we intend to continue this practice on all future breedings.

 

Several dog lines have been identified as known carriers.  Please feel free to contact me if you would like assistance in reviewing pedigrees.
