Links to Testing Companies
(The ones we Recommend)
Embark- Screening lab, especially for Doodles (since you need to test for all issues present in BOTH parent breeds).
This is a full panel (health and color) test. They have the most accurate Breed detection as well (please know those are not 100% reliable anywhere though).
Make sure to check out the breeder kits. The more kits you buy, the cheaper the individual price. Breeder kits will give you COI and an OFA submission report. At this time they only accept their swabs (no dew claws or blood samples).
First time? Use code: TRYEMBARK99 to buy your first kit for $99.
Paw Print- Great diagnostic lab. They will run diagnostics on each individual gene and double verify the results. You can order a breed specific disease panel or individual tests.
The will accept dew claws, blood samples, or swabs.
The Savvy Breeder Community has our own discount code with Paw Print. Make sure you subscribe to the site to have yours emailed to you!

Canine Health Check- This is also a great screening company with a full panel test. They are a subcompany of Paw Print, but please know this is still just a screening, you're not getting Paw Print level diagnostics.
*provides merle length
Animal Genetics- This is also a great diagnostic lab. They are super fast and easy to work with! We recommend this lab if you need quick results on just a few color or disease trait tests (examples: testing a litter for furnishings, testing a prospective breeding pup for what you need before purchase). They do accept dew claws, blood samples, or swabs. You can send in your own swabs instead of waiting on a kit as well.
Tilia Laboratories- This lab provides the most accurate testing of merle length. They will accept all forms of samples.
***At this time we are not recommending Optimal Selection as they have changed their reporting process. This includes Wisdom Panel as well.
