[QUOTE=Colleen078;1439137]I don't know if someone already wrote this but here is what I would look for in Pebbles.

Does she have roachback?-? unsure of what that is...
Are her ears the right size? What would be the right size, they aren't too big
I'm still unsure.

Head
Does she have an underbite or overbite?-underbite
Small and rather flat on top, the skull not too prominent or round, the muzzle not too long, with the bite neither undershot nor overshot and teeth sound. Either scissors bite or level bite is acceptable. The nose is black. Eyes are medium in size and not too prominent; dark in color and sparkling with a sharp, intelligent expression. Eye rims are dark. Ears are small, V-shaped, carried erect and set not too far apart.

Does she have a nice coat the parts down the middle?-yes, it's not long though
Coat
.
[COLOR="red"]Quality, texture and quantity of coat are of prime importance. Hair is glossy, fine and silky in texture. Coat on the body is moderately long and perfectly straight (not wavy). It may be trimmed to floor length to give ease of movement and a neater appearance, if desired. The fall on the head is long, tied with one bow in center of head or parted in the middle and tied with two bows. Hair on muzzle is very long. Hair should be trimmed short on tips of ears and may be trimmed on feet to give them a neat appearance.

How much does she weigh?-4 1/3lbs
Does she come from a line of free whelpers? This means do the females that came before her; Dam/Granddam/Great GrandDam/Great Granddam give birthwithout c-sections
Has she been tested for liver disease?Yes, positive (she tested positive)....shouldn't be bred at all
Are her lines clear of any and all liver disease?-Yes
Does she have Luxating Patella?-No (was deemed totally clear and do you have the documentation with your vet's results)Have her eyes and ears been checked?-Were these Checked by Specialists

Have her hips and knees been checked?-Checked by orthopedic Specialists
Has she been checked for STDs?-Yes. was a smear performed on her. Documentation of said tests....However, this test must be performed just prior to breeding.
All of these questions go for the male too
