Szykowskie Wzgórze (FCI)
### About the kennel Szykowskie Wzgórze is an active kennel in Poland breeding Golden Retrievers. The kennel name Szykowskie Wzgórze is a registered affix with the Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI), which means every puppy born here can receive an FCI-recognised pedigree. The breeder raises puppies inside the home, not in outdoor kennel blocks, and places a strong emphasis on early socialisation and a gentle start in life. New owners receive ongoing support after taking a puppy home. ### Breeding dogs **KOKA (registered name KOKA Adekatos Poland FCI)** is a female dam with comprehensive health testing. Her hip X-ray (HD) was graded A, which on the FCI scale means no signs of hip dysplasia. Her elbow X-ray (ED) returned 0/0, indicating no abnormal changes. A cardiac examination confirmed normal heart function, and an eye examination showed no inherited eye problems at the time of testing. KOKA has also been DNA-tested and found clear for the mutations that cause GR_PRA 1, GR_PRA 2, PRED-PRA, MD and NCL. This means she will not pass these inherited conditions to her puppies. **ALEXANDER (registered name ALEXANDER Bohemium of Zaporozhye FCI)** is a stud male. He has achieved the same results as KOKA: hip X-ray grade A, elbow X-ray 0/0, a clear cardiac result and a clean eye examination. He is also DNA-clear for GR_PRA 1, GR_PRA 2, PRED-PRA, MD and NCL, making him a strong health match for the litters he has sired. **ALASKA (registered name ALASKA Adekatos Poland FCI)** is a female dam with a full set of clear health results: hips grade A, elbows 0/0, heart and eyes normal, and all DNA tests clear for GR_PRA 1, GR_PRA 2, PRED-PRA, MD and NCL. She is one of the dams who has had a litter with the stud EXCELSIOR. **EXCELSIOR (registered name EXCELSIOR Kahn-Canary FCI)** is a stud male. His health record matches the other dogs: hips graded A, elbows 0/0, normal heart and eyes, and DNA clear for the same five genetic conditions. He was paired with ALASKA for a previous litter. **Diva (registered name Diva z Szykowskiego Wzgórza)** is a female dam who has undergone an even broader set of tests. Her hip X-ray (HD) is graded A/A, elbow X-ray 0/0 and shoulder X-ray completely free of dysplasia. Eye and cardiac examinations were both performed and confirmed healthy. Genetic testing shows she is clear for GR PRA-1, GR PRA-2, PRA-PRCD, MD, NCL and ICH. Her results cover all the major inherited diseases that can affect Golden Retrievers. **Trubliss (registered name Trubliss Love Me Two Times)** is a stud male. His health results are identical to Diva's: hips A/A, elbows 0/0, shoulders free of dysplasia, eyes and heart healthy, and DNA clear for GR PRA-1, GR PRA-2, PRA-PRCD, MD, NCL and ICH. ### Health tests explained The genetic tests listed in this profile check for inherited diseases known in the breed. GR_PRA 1 and GR_PRA 2 refer to progressive retinal atrophy, a group of inherited eye diseases that gradually lead to blindness; a DNA test showing a clear result means the dog does not carry the mutation and will not pass it on. PRED-PRA and PRA-PRCD are additional forms of inherited eye conditions. MD is a muscular dystrophy that affects mobility, and NCL (neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis) is an inherited disease of the nervous system. ICH is an abbreviation for which no meaning is provided; the test result simply indicates the dog is clear. The hip (HD) and elbow (ED) X-rays check for joint dysplasia; the A grade and 0/0 result show no signs of abnormal development. Cardiac and eye examinations confirm that, at the time of testing, heart function and eyes were normal. ### Litters and puppies Szykowskie Wzgórze has several litters recorded. A previous litter by KOKA and ALEXANDER has been born, as has a litter by ALASKA and EXCELSIOR. A planned litter is expected between Diva and Trubliss. In addition, two litters are listed with no specific parent names, a litter with a birth date of 02.08.2026 and another with a birth date of 05.08.2026. All puppies come with a health book, age-appropriate vaccinations, deworming, a ZKwP (FCI) pedigree and a puppy starter pack. ### What buyers receive Each puppy leaves with a health book (książeczka zdrowia) that documents vaccinations and deworming, a ZKwP (FCI) pedigree certificate that proves the puppy's lineage and allows registration with kennel clubs abroad, and a puppy starter pack. The breeder offers ongoing support to new families. No information is available on visits or export procedures; buyers interested in these details are advised to contact the kennel directly.
