I'm not sure what breeder checklist is being referred to, but the one
that I did definitely suggests testing both the sire and the dam, see:
        http://www.jersey.net/~mountaindog/berner1/checklist.htm

Some of the indentations aren't quite right, but both sire and dam
should be tested, they both contribute to the genes of the puppies!
