Welsh terrier health tests, which ones?

I was just wondering if anyone could tell me what health are recommended for a welsh terrier? I don't have on yet have one but I am very interested in the breed and progressing it. I would like to learn about the genetics and so on so that I can eventually breed a health litter. If anyone could give me a little bit of info I would be really grateful.
