what health tests should a potential puppy buyer ask the breeder about?

when she first came home

I received an email update from Director, Richard Boddington, about The Dogfather movie. Currently all of the editing has been completed and it is in LA having the sound track made. Richard has a sales promo out and it is being marketed to all of the big film companies (Disney is set to see it in January). Richard is very pleased with how it turned out--in his words, "It turned out just great! It's a very funny, great looking family film that I know you will be proud of."

Did you see this?

Effective January 1, 2010 - A Ramp MUST be
available to judges (at their discretion) for examination of
low, heavy-set breeds in accordance with CKC Conformation
Rules & Regulations.

I just noticed it on the Premium list for a show I was thinking about entering...wonder if that means Bulldogs will be shown on ramps now?

I'll have to start new training!

Gabe is learning to speak Canadian very well now after spending a good part of the summer up there and attending a couple shows. Today he earned 2 more points towards his CKC championship for a total of 7...just 3 more to go!


Here's his win photo from the Lower Mainland Dog Fanciers show where he went WD, BW & BB for 5 points...

Nearly six weeks ago Miss Pipster had a late night date with an eligible young Brindle Bully Bachelor named Dakota...

This Dakota happens to be a grandson of a certain Wild West girl named CJ

with the first point. We got ours today on the frozen tundra of the Du Page County Fairgrounds. Our new bred by girl Tess took her first point. Now only 14 to go.

Let's hear it for health testing. Basically what I gleaned from the show was that "they" want the Kennel Club to outlaw inbreeding (father/daughter, mother/son, etc). You can't say that's wrong, but the Kennel Club adamantly refuses. The interviewer asked the Kennel Club man if he would have a baby with his daughter. He said that was ridiculous, dogs were different than people.
