Health Clearances

Kin Doberman believes one of the many key factors separating a responsible and ethical breeder from puppy mills and backyard breeders is regularly performing clinical health clearances on one’s breeding lines, and having proof of it. DNA clearances are “nice to” but not “have to” be done. They are general genetic indicators, whereas clinical clearances are are a timely and specific indicator of the Doberman’s 

We aim to screen for the following conditions & factors, and a copy of the clearances can be viewed by the selected new homes upon request when meeting in person:

• von Willebrand Disease (vWD)
• OFA Eyes
• OFA Dentition
• OFA Patellar
• OFA Hips
• Thyroid
• Liver Panel
• DINGS
• vWD
• Heart (ECG and/or Holter)
