What a wonderful post from a dedicated breeder. Your love for the breed is absolutely obvious.
I've bought two registered pups in my life. An English Springer that I was involved with long before birth and a Rottweiler. They didn't have the health standards then, but the Rottie had a 4 generation displaysia certification. Both were the result of careful checking on my part and the experience was incredibly good for both dogs.
Thanks for all you do for your doggies. It's important stuff, and I'm glad it's being done.
I am so pleased you did the research, so many people don't and then regret it afterwards. Thank you big tom! :)
