We are grateful for pups like Gwen who not only participate in our Health Ambassador program, but also act as a pioneer in a BCA initiated or recognized health research project.
The Bulldog Club of America works with The Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) for health screening. For the #Bulldog breed there are three required OFA health test for any breeder to complete to receive a CHIC number: cardiac, patella and trachea. The #bulldogclubofamerica also has an additional recommended list of optional OFA health test for the Bulldog breed.
If you are thinking of breeding, your next thought should be health testing!
