I had a female with a preliminary at 1 year come up OFA good. At her final reading at 2 years she came back borderline. No breeding. I don't believe in a female having 2 heats then breed. IMHO, no dog can be genetically clear until 2 years of age.
Again it is only my opinion and I speak for no one but myself  Nor am I knocking anyone who differs from my opinion. Everyone does what they feel is the best. This is just my way. |
AMEN!!!!
Thank you soooo much for saying that. You are 100% right and sound like a VERY responsible breeder. I'm sure your babies are beautiful, healthy & very well adjusted!!
