The breeder I got Ceeby from did not havehim tested. I took him the day after I got him for his well puppy. he only weighed nine ounces at eight weeks old. They told me I would have to fast him. No way was I going to fast that baby at that weight. I did, however have him tested before i started breeding him. i probably won't have any of the babies I sell tested either because they are tiny and I am not going to take a chance with hypoglycemia. parents are tested. I think they need to weigh a little more than nine or ten ounces to fast. The urine bile acid test is not accurate many times..
