I purchased a boy from a breeder last April, We have had problems with him and hypoglycemia from the beginning. Upon the vet examination he received the day after we brought him home, we found he had a heart murmur. I informed the breeder. We kept a close eye on it and within a couple of months it had closed. I then discovered that his littermate was examined by the breeders vet and was found to have a GR IV at 3 months of age. I purchased this little guy as a breeder and I brought all of this to the attention of the breeder and she contends he is a "healthy" pup and he can be breed. I have chose not to breed this little guy for fear of passing this on.
