Thanks guys, that is my understanding too, but it isn't very clear. There are so many adorable puppies advertised where the father hasn't been checked. Obviously not all these puppies would be affected but still significant number must go blind
I would only go for pups where both parents have been hip scored and eyes checked. Where about are you roughly? are you prepared to travel? and how soon do you want a pup as I could let my friend know if you like. She is a vet nurse with qualifications in dog behaviour and gun dog work and will give follow up support but no pups at the moment.skip_1 said:
It was A.J.M.'s dog in particular that made us look into the Fox Red branch
I love the reds, not many around. I used to take care of a friends red lab when they went on hold etc, he was lovely. I helped them when he had to be put down as she couldn't cope with being in the room right at the end so I held him, my professional vet nursing abilities crumbled that day .I hope you find one, they stand out from the crowd imo
