Adult Rat Terriers

All our adults are PLL (Primary Lense Luxation) tested with the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) or clear/normal by parentage.

Our puppies are produced from Clear to Clear parents or Clear to Carrier parents as mentioned in Breeding Strategy and Advice so there is no chance to produce pups with PLL, but they may be carriers. This can only happen with the Clear to Carrier breedings, and puppies produced from these breedings will need to be OFA tested if bought for breeding.

Dr. Keller from the OFA confirmed these breeding characteristics:

A clear to carrier mating will statistically produce 50% clear and 50% carriers without risk of developing PLL.

Thank you.
