When someone gets a puppy from me I want their vet and their friends to ask where they got that splendid puppy from? Tall order but very worth while striving for. It is easy to throw 2 dogs together to make puppies but what about down the road when they call you and say they have to put their puppy to sleep for major health problems. How will you feel? Breed for the best so you won't ever have to worry like that. Check out generations of your dogs and test your dogs. Anything run in the lines back farther? Sue |
I haven't had either one of my dogs tested just yet. Their still babies (dam 10 months, sire 6 months), and I haven't breed them together or sired him out yet because of their ages (dam is in her first heat) and I haven't had the testing done. I am waiting till I do the testing till this summer (expecting my second skin baby the end of March, so I am on restricted traveling), as the weather is much more permitting for me to drive an hour away to my local vet or 4 hrs away to my vet in Denver. As far as past generations in either dog (from talking to the breeders) there hasn't been anything wrong genetically and health wise as far as they know or can remember or will tell me.
