The GSCA supports the Canine Health Foundation’s Canine Health Information Center (CHIC) program. This program now includes four specific health testing requirements (hips, elbows, thyroid, and eyes) and three optional/recommended screenings (heart, genetic test for PRA/PRCD, and genetic test for DCM). This testing enables a giant to become CHIC certified – something that should happen before any giant is bred. See this page for details.
