My pup, Luna, has this health test on her reg.

L-2HGA Hereditary clear and HC-HSF4 Hereditary clear.

What does this mean please.
Thanks
Matt

Those are two of the common ailments with Staffs and it means your breeder was responsible enought to make sure Luna wouldn't have either disorder.

That's basically it - the two conditions that are mentioned are hereditary problems within the Staffordshire Bull Terrier breed and are both detectable by DNA & eye testing. If both parents were clear (either because they were tested or because all of their parents were clear) then your pup will be clear as well! Good news! thumbs up
