Now, myself as a breeder I just make sure my adults that are going to be bred are the ones tested completely! I, myself, would never BAT a puppy before 6 months of age. I do have a health guarantee for liver shunt and other genetic health issues except for LP (which is for 1 year with it being a grade 4 and not from injury) for 3 years and I stand behind my breeding program. If a puppy buyer wants BAT's run I strongly suggest it being done at 6 months of age and not before.
With this being said I hope it will help in some way and my prayers are certainly with you!

My condolences, as well! How heartbreaking.
I agree with Donna. I've heard that with BAT testing, you just don't do with before 6 months of age. Your contract should cover 1 year guarantee (minimum) and the new owners should have the testing done (around 6 months of age)...unless you plan on keeping the pups longer than 6 months.
