Thur. 17th June..  
Every Cloud Has A Silver Lining...
Had a phonecall from Justins Breeder today..   They have started the wheels' in motion for screening their breeding dogs & bitches..
This may be too late for Justy.   ( who I am very pleased to say is having a good day today..)  but great for future generations of puppies.  I don't have any romantic ideas that screening will make everything perfect, but at least breeders can be confident they have done what they can to prevent inherited diseases..
A list of breeders who screen & the results of tests can be viewed at..

Breaks my heart to write this Blog..!   But in the hope that my mistake will help puppy buyers choose Reputable Breeders I have decided to post Justins story..
I purchased Justin, as a potential " Show Dog" from an experienced breeder.  I knew health screening had'nt been carried out but trusted this person that he was a healthy dog..  I thought , because they were successful & experienced breeders, &  "Friends" , I would have no worries. 
Futher down the line,  when I would have been carring out health screening on Justin, ( should I have wished to use him in a mating)  as I am obliged to do as an Accredited Breeder.  I was pretty sure there would have been no probs..
 As Justin grew,  from time, to time,  he would have peorids of lameness, & severe pain which got worse as time went on. I did inform the breeder ..   
I began to do a bit of research myself on Justins breed lines.. & found that there had been other problems with pups bought. Not From This particular breeder,
 that I know of,  but the pups were deffo. of the same breed lines..  One of which was blind before a year old, the owner of this pup, still sheding tears while telling me ... another blind & with severe aggression, who had to be put sleep before 4 years old.. Whos' owners to this day, get upset thinking of what they and there beloved pet went through.   I know now in hindsight., on the day I purchased Justin , the breeder was aware of at least one of these cases..  Im not out to "Hang" this breeder, but have to say I am sickened, and angry, that although they were the first person contacted after I saw the xrays.. They still hav'nt found the time to speak to me directly.. too busy..!    I truly hope they will , if they hav'nt already,  put some £'s back into their breeding " programme"  and do some health screening.

So here I am today..  with a beautiful dog , who on Monday was diagnosed with severe Hip Displasia.. who on Wednesday  30 June '10 will be just 2 years old... some birthday present ..!!
