In a perfect world a breeding/show dog would be kept until 12 months and all health clearance would be done before being allowed to be shown/championed and bred.
I would like to see as much focus on health testing from all breeders from the top breeders and the the small breeders.
I have noticed in the most all of the contracts I have seen is that the key thing is they want the dog Championed before being bred, but they leave out the really important issues of all health testing/clearances done before being allowed to be shown/championed and bred. And some want you to run ads in the mags etc.
Why is that?
I think health testing should be one of the most important key to the contracts.
We are focusing much more on doing all the testing in our program right now. When we started no one did a lot of the health testing and still very few do, I hope more breeders will start doing more health testing. If you look on OFA the Yorkies there are not very many listed as compared to the number of Yorkies being bred. If you truly love the breed then health testing is something that has to be done.
