There is no charge for HEALTH TEST
CERTIFICATION by ACC. If you are a Coton Breeder, you may request a
subsequent listing of your name and your dog’s name on the ACC WEB PAGE
BREEDER’S REGISTRY. Information supplied by a licensed veterinarian is
sufficient for all results except eye tests and thyroid tests. Often a
veterinarian can advise you if further testing is desirable. We require a
complete standard blood panel. We recommend but do not require you to
have thyroid function evaluated by the Michigan State or equivalent test.
We require the eyes checked by a Board Certified Ophthalmologist. Please
send a copy of the test results and a copy of the ophthalmologist's report
to ACC. We encourage you to send the eye test results to CERF as well. CERF
results are posted on the ACC web site. Comprehensive blood panels are
useful in establishing a baseline profile of your dog’s health, but must be
seen in the context of overall fitness. There is no fee for certifying
this information and adding it to the ACC HEALTH TEST ARCHIVES. In addition,
we will include any orthopedic, heart or thyroid results from OFA, GDC,
PenHIP or other examining body to your Coton's certified tests. ACC will
register qualified puppies (as determined by the breeder) to be
"show/potentially breedable" but will only classify Cotons as "breedable"
when the results of all required tests done at or after one year of age have been received.
