tests for and eye issues that require yearly exams by a board-certified ophthalmologist.
The Orthopedic Foundation for Animals( OFA) is a record-keeping body for many breeds’ test results and ratings for dysplasias of various types. It has a search tool to check records and results for each dog tested. Be sure to ask your breeder about the testing required for their breed, and be familiar with the required tests yourself, which you can find on OFA and your breed club websites.
Embark testing or purely genetic panel testing does not replace radiography in breeds that are prone to dysplasias or eye issues that require a physical exam.

fit for you. Understand that many breeders have waiting lists, and be prepared to wait. The just-right puppy is better than the right now puppy. Wait for the one that fits your family, and understand that most breeders will not allow preferences for eye color, markings, etc.

There are so many more fine points I could write about in the search for the right breed, the right breeder and how to find them. In a nutshell, however, these are the basic tools you need to find the right puppy and right breeder.
The best advice I can give is take your time, find a breeder you click with and understand this is a lifelong commitment to both the breeder and the puppy. With these things in mind, you will be sure to find the right companion or working dog for your family!
