I have a Kimbertal granddaughter, if my breeder is to believed and THAT is suspect. Kimbertal appears nowhere in the pedigree. I certainly knew nothing of the kennels reputation, nor my breeder's when I got Gypsy.
Gypsy has CHD, for which she had a pectineal tenotomy. She is undershot, even thought he puppy teeth were fine. She also has a roach back, which I was hoping would come down a little as she got older, but hasn't.
I bought her for a pet with a "48 hr" health guarantee, i.e. NONE and could live with all the problems without complaining--except for the hips.
If any newbies from VA are tempted to buy in Western VA, PLEASE email me for a report on my breeder.
