Is Gizmo registered with The Canadian Kennel Club, and not Continental Kennel Club?

If Continental I would certainly not go forward with this breeding until he is registered with the AKC.

Have you searched their pedigrees? KNow the health risks in the lines you are wishing to breed into? What is the incidence of LP for example in your girls line? In the potential stud's lines?

Remember with the breeding pair, even if they are clear of LP, there is still the opportunity for LP to manifest in their first litter. You will want to know the horizontal pedigree,etc. For example in the litter Gizmo was born in, how many if any of those pups have LP? Ditto for Liver shunt; (I'm assuming all have been tested clear), hip dysplasia.
