CullenWebb is happy to support ethical and responsible breeding practices by offering companion animal eye registry (CAER) for breeders in Atlantic Canada. Such screening examinations help to reduce the prevalence of inherited eye disease. Aside from eye examinations, CullenWebb also offers screening for heritable forms of deafness through Brainstem Auditory Evoked Response (BAER) testing.

Other forms of screening health examinations that are often performed by diligent breeders include: orthopedic screening, heart screening, screening for known genetic mutations, etc.
