    Standard Canine Genetic Health Screening

    Panels test for mutations associated with various inherited diseases, including those that can affect lifespan, quality of life, or require specific treatments. 


    •  A "Clear" means the dog does not carry the specific genetic mutations associated with certain diseases or conditions. This implies the dog is not at risk of developing those conditions and will not pass the abnormal gene to its offspring.  
    • A "Carrier" refers to a dog that has inherited a copy of a recessive gene mutation for a specific genetic disorder, but does not show symptoms of the condition themselves. While not affected by the condition, they can still pass the mutated gene to their offspring. 
    •  An "affected" result indicates that the dog possesses the specific gene variant linked to a particular disorder. 

    About the Name

    Ailsa Craig, sometimes referred to as the Granite Jewel of the Firth of Clyde, is an island that sits in the outer Firth of Clyde. Around 99 hectares in size, Ailsa Craig is comprised from a volcanic plug from an extinct volcano.

    It is currently owned by a nature conservation trust as it contains some of Europe's most important bird colonies. This includes the continent’s biggest gannet colony and a significant number of puffins. It's blue hone granite is also good for the manufacture of curling stones, two-thirds of stones in us today are made from it. 


    Scotland was home to a variety of working dogs from as early the 13th and 14th centuries, probably even earlier. The majority were indigenous to the location, supplemented with a handful of breeds brought by traders, visitors and invaders.

    This is a truly Scottish breed, originating there during the 19th century, born out of retrievers who were traditionally used as hunting companions across the Highlands and beyond.

    Born in Scotland and imported to the USA at 10 weeks old, Ailsa comes from a long history of working goldens. Her breeder is a retired game keeper. 

    In the United Kingdom, a gamekeeper (often abbreviated to keeper) is a person who manages an area of countryside (e.g. areas of woodland, moorland, waterway or farmland) to make sure there is enough game for hunting, or fish for fishing, and acts as guide to those pursuing them.
