"There
is not much that we can do about genetic transmission in
randomly bred animals, but for purposely bred animals, breeders must use
due diligence to prevent inherited disease. Responsible breeders
perform genetic testing of parent breeding stock for breed-susceptible
disorders."
-Jerold S. Bell DVM
Our breeding dogs are Health Tested for genetic disease.
When looking for a puppy, you should demand to see ALL health certificates.
If you are paying $1500-2500 for a puppy without health testing,
you are asking for multiple costly vet visits down the road or early death.
A yearly visit to a veterinarian does not screen your puppy's parents for genetic disease.
This is not good enough to produce HEALTHY puppies.
An AKC or other Championship does not equal quality.
Ask for Health Testing results from the OFA as proof of health testing.
