Talk about loaded questions.
I have yet to see a breeder, show or not, who warrants against ANY defect. If you know of some, I think it would be awesome to post their names on YT so that potential buyers can know that they are only buying a 100% guaranteed perfect dog.
And since this particular condition can be easily diagnosed with a simple eye test, it would seem that providing a puppy from another litter "just in case" this proves to be genetic would only be necessary if the puppy was going to be used in a breeding program.
