The Pumi is basically a healthy breed and we want to keep it that way by continuing to health test our dogs for diseases that are known to occur in the breed. While there has been no incidence of Progressive Lens Luxation (PLL) and Degenerative Myelopathy (DM) in the USA, we are finding dogs who carry the gene, thus making sure we health test our dogs so we do not produce puppies with the problem.

The Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) keeps a registry of health checks by breed.  

The Hungarian Pumi Club of America has worked with the Canine Health Information Center (CHIC) to establish a list of health tests specifically recommended for the Pumi.  This list is below, and additional information including how to order the DNA tests can be found at https://www.ofa.org/recommended-tests?breed=PM .
