Good that is nice to hear. May I also suggest you do a Bile acid test at 16wks on each puppy prior to placement?
That will help to rule out Liver Disease as I am sure you know is very prevalent in this breed.
Then also suggest a Trupanion Pet Insurance plan as of six months ago it was the only plan that does cover genetic diseases.
So here we go on genetic diseases:
LP surgery anywhere from $2K to $3.5K dependent upon the severity
LS that is Liver shunt surgery and btw no surgeon in Ontario is really an expert at least $2K or to $3K
CT collapsing trachea heartbreaking no treatment for it.
Hip Dysplasia and or Leggs Perthes - Surgery to correct about the same as above.
PRA - Eye disease no surgical options the dog goes blind.
Cataracts - No surgery to date - well actually there is but the surgery cost is way out there
Hyperuricosuria - Stones very painfull condition. And sometimes surgery can be an option. Cost unknown to me.
So I am very happy that you will personally warrant and indeminfy for your future puppy owners against all those conditions and will pay for the surgery where applicable.
