Blood test have been done. My vet covered all the basis that needed to be covered. She is well aware that we might breed in the future so we dotted all the i's and crossed all the t's.
Glad that his teeth are being fixed, but vets do not evaluate dogs for breeding. If you ask a vet if a dog should breed, they will see if the have the necessary equipment and are "healthy" enough to breed. They won't do genetic testing and most aren't even aware of the breed specific testing that should be done. Breeders show their dogs to experts in order to evaluate their breeding suitabilty, this is what they do at dog shows, and good breeders go one step further, they study and learn about breeding and do the necessary health testing and know the line of the dogs backwards and forwards.
