You shouldn't be breeding under 5 pounds so another red flag JMHO
ACA and CKC will register anything not to say they are bad registries but oh well you get the point. I guess since I don't breed just for pets I just don't get why you don't health test since Liver Shunt is so pervalent in this breed....

Excellent points Donna and agree with you 100%. Even with health testing things can crop up.
