Rocking B Farms Breeder
LJack said:Who are the parents of the puppy in question? A quick peek makes it seem like there has been no improvement but the parents will be what really matters in assessing how much risk comes along with that cute puppy bred by a color focused only breeder.
Do or do not, there is no try.Cleverness is not wisdom.I MAY be getting tired of all the excuses to do the wrong thing….
Dam K9 Data: Pedigree: Tramin Full Moon Dam OFA data: None FoundSo unless I’m searching the wrong names and AKC numbers, neither parents have any verifiable clearances. Even though their website claims both have clearances. FWIW – Elbows can only be done by OFA. There is no secondary elbow clearance that can be used .
LJack said:I am sure they may trot out the old European health information. Be aware those will have been done underage, cant be verified and on occasion have been prove fraudulent . All of these issues is why dogs living and producing in the US should have US compliant health certifications which would be verifiable on OFA if they existed
