As a club we are committed to the health of our
breed and have Mandatory Health testing for all of
our approved breeders. Pinschers are generally a
healthy breed with hereditary cataracts being the
only main known health issue. Our mandatory health
tests include eyes, hips, von Willebrands disease
and heart testing.
