Hip dysplasia is the major problem in my breed, as is bloat (you can't test for that, can you, you know, what the chances are kind of test?). Also, is there a way to test for sub-aortic stenosis? Allergies are our biggest problem! My girl is allergic to air, I swear it! Special shampoos, special food, everything because she's "sensitive". Given the breed, people are surprised she's so fragile!</STRONG>

Allergies like that alone would eliminate her from breeding Amber
Cardio-clearences and OFA really aren't "optional". Also; bloodwork for VwD and thyroid are as strongly suggested as is OFA and CERF and Cardio-clearence.
