What health warentees are breeders currently supporting and what are the conditions? Although no breeder can "Guarantee" with 100% certainty that any dog they breed or sell will have any particular health issue, most problems are complex and it is not known if and how some are passed on(inherited) to future generations, Are you offering partial refund and/or replacement dog, support and information for the common health issues in this breed should any dog bred or placed be effected. Health concerns.. Eye defects (Cataracts) Bone disorders (hip/Elbow dysplaisa) Autoimmune issues Epilepsy (seizures) Drug sensitivity temperament issues

11/3/06 WELL reputable hobby breeders guarantee hips, eyes, genetic disorders. If a show prospect pup - bite, both testicles, color (meaning no white body splashes. We will replace a pup of equal value, or if buyer elects to spay/neuter the dog and keep it a refund equal to the companion puppy price and show prospect price. MDR1 now that is what you test your dogs for and if they are positive - the owner will know what definitley not to give the dog as far as medications. Jarilyn
