Why Choose a Health-Tested Boerboel and Presa Canario Puppy?
A healthy Boerboel and Presa Canario starts with responsible breeding. While their playful personalities win hearts, the breed is prone to deafness, heart conditions, and skin allergies—making genetic testing critical. Here’s what to look for:
Health Testing Essentials
Reputable breeders test for:
- BAER (hearing) – Especially for white-coated pups.
- Patella Luxation & Heart Exams – Common in compact, muscular breeds.
- DNA Screening – For breed-specific risks like LAD (Lethal Acrodermatitis).
At Bullbrook Kennel, all breeding dogs undergo these tests, with results shared transparently.
Pedigree Matters
Champion bloodlines aren’t just for show dogs—they indicate predictable temperaments and adherence to breed standards. Avoid “pet-only” breeders who skip pedigree research.
Ethical vs. Backyard Breeding
Puppy mills prioritize profit over health, often skipping tests. Ethical breeders:
- Limit litters per dam.
- Raise pups in-home (not kennels).
- Offer lifetime support.
