Breeding suitability guide — Alaskan Husky
For breeders: which tests, which thresholds, which mating rules apply
1. Mandatory tests for parents
These tests must be on file for every breeding animal.

| Alaskan Husky Encephalopathy (AHE) | — | Clear or Carrier | Autosomal recessive | AI-Vet |
2. Mating rules
When one parent has a borderline result, the other parent must meet specific criteria.
We currently have no structured mating rules for this breed. Please consult your club's regulation.
3. Recommended additional tests

4. HonestDog verification
- Upload a legible certificate (PDF or photo) per test in the breeder dashboard

- Certificates older than 36 months are flagged as stale
- We check each upload for authenticity — the profile tile then shows 'verified'
