That's what makes a difference in breeders...A breeder who is prepared to deal with these situations and a breeder who is not.
Hopefully, you would be buying from a breeder who knows their lines really well, but it's always a possibility...

Thnx so much! I'm still looking as to where im going to get the sire and dam from.
