The health of our own dogs is the first consideration in every decision we make and we encourage every parent (regardless of whether you are a Willowcreek parent or not, to request (demand) health testing from your breeding program.

DNA health testing is readily available and here at Willowcreek, we have opted to move from the previous testing to Optimal Selection.

Optimal Selection tests for all DNA Genetic diseases commonly found in Border Collies + they are the only test on the market that tests for EOAD, which made switching to them, the easy and right choice.

All our breeding pairs are tested and we do encourage parents to test their puppies for sheer knowledge and peace of mind.

You can learn more about their testing and the value of ensuring your dogs parents are health tested and clear at https://optimal-selection.com/
