Reputable Euro Breeders

[JanS]

It looks like Elroy's from 2023 had a total of 240.

Remy’s was from March 2023 and has a few more.

Asha was clear on every single test except ALT activity with one variant. This was in 2020.

The 4 "breed relevant" they listed are DINGS, DCM1. DCM2. and vWD. I'll have to go to the website to see what else might have been added. Mine says total of 197 tests - what does yours say (yours was very recent, right?)

@Ravenbird iirc at the time of the Embark test in April 2025 they were advertising 240+ markers of all dogs, 9 specific to dobes.

Just checking the FAQs on the website, its up to 400 dogs, 270 genetic markers and 55 "traits" as of 5mos ago.

@ArgoKD just checking the OP;
Still here?
How is your search going?
Anything to share?

And I have personally seen it happen. I know for fact through a friend that the dog passed from DCM but if I remember right this breeder listed it as "unknown".

If you are talking about the person I think you it was listed as suspected bloat. Well at least until I saw it.

BTW, I am that person. I will persist until a breeder shows proof or changes the COD.

Yup that's the one.

Is that even possible or is that a unicorn?

Another thing you didn't put on your unicorn list is COI. But unless sire & dam are both in a DNA program that predicts mating COI's then I'm not sure it could help in shopping for breeders. A breeding pair could both be in the 40's and produce puppies lower than their own or higher COI's depending on the contrast in genetics. LOL, it's always something.

Good catch. Actually- its #1 for me now in dobes.
Longevity as proven in Dobiequest, or
a letter with pedigree on paper, that I can then examine myself, and/or
the genetic inference from DNA tests results on paper are the cutoff yes/no first question I'd ask the breeder if I were interviewing one.

Is that too strict, unreasonable?

 

[Two Dobes]

I don't think the requests are unreasonable....pedigrees are easy enough to research and many do the DNA tests which show the COI
Reputable breeder's are usually transparent with their line, and willing to answer questions.
