The GSP is generally a long-lived healthy breed. Helping to keep them this way, our parent club, the GSPCA (German Shorthaired Pointer Club of America), recommends several health tests, clearances prior to any breeding. Here at Diadem we encourage and support health testing.

See the most recent requirements put out by the AKC here.


The required tests are:

Congenital Cardiac Database
  • OFA evaluation with exam performed by a Cardiologist
  • or OFA evaluation with exam performed by a Specialist
Hip Dysplasia
  • OFA Evaluation - OR
  • PennHIP Evaluation
Eye Examination by a boarded ACVO Ophthalmologist- recommend annual exams until age 6, every 2 years thereafter
  • Results registered with OFA - OR
  • Results registered with CERF
Cone Degeneration
  • Optigen test results registered with the OFA.
Elbow Dysplasia
  • OFA Evaluation
Autoimmune thyroiditis (Optional)
  • OFA evaluation from an approved laboratory - It is recommended that the test be repeated every two years.
