Well, that's a shame. All I was trying to do was warn you of the inherited diseases & available tests that you can do @ your vet's. There is no way of testing for Leggs Calves Perthes Disease, but it shows up early, 5-9 months in pups & I encourage you to read up on it. Brings much pain to the pups & heartache for the new parents, needs FHO surgery which costs a couple of thousand dollars. These inherited diseases are real & can happen if it's in their genes, so I suggest getting your boy tested @ least for Liver Shunt (BATS) & get his knees checked, their eyes, also the breeding females. You & your friends are responsible for what you bring into this world. Hope all pups will live long pampered healthy lives & you're prepared to properly train & love your future stud.
