I Love Thor Donating Member | buying w/o health screening? Would you purchase a pup from parents that have not had health screenings? Why or why not? I'm trying to do this the right way, and I don't think I would choose to purchase from a breeder that doesn't screen, but I would like other opinions...both sides. Thanks! |

| No, I personally would never buy again from a breeder that does not health screen their dogs. I have a long list of criteria a breeder must meet, and health screening and knowing their lines is at the top of the list

Having lost a dearly loved pet due to genetic problems I would never take this chance again. I will only support the best breeders I can find.
