Sorry I guess I did miss what you were saying. Yes, know your lines AND be prepared to give those health guarantees for genetic issues for a reasonable length of time. Always be interested in what happens to your puppies even those sold for pet.
I was given advice many years ago that I have my pups I kept for show and know how they turned out but I also want to keep tabs with pups I sold for pet not only how they turned out as adults but inmy opinion, how did they do healthwise? That's why I like to keep in touch with people who have my dogs and they do keep in touch with me.
