I got my baby boy from Denise in Feb this year (he's 7 months old now), so far he's been a healthy puppy and the love of my life. But next week he is going under the knife to be neutered and also a second procedure to get one of his testicles that never dropped. That problem is called cryptorchidism (undescended testicles) and it is hereditary and can lead to cancer. So fortunately the surgery will be an easy fix and my little man will be fine after the surgery but somewhere in the background of "her breeding" she bred dogs with that problem. Something a true breeder would not continue to breed. I also read that it is the only disqualifying fault for all AKC breeds. I do not know if she is for all real or not but this is just something else to think about..
