| Re: Breeding Before 2 yrs of age
What would being 'tres bon' at a BEAUCERON specialty have to do with proving correct ROTTWEILER structure? I am confused there.
Pre-lims CAN change in final reports, moreso in the elbows than hips, but both CAN change, and you didn't mention heart clearances.
It is great you have done what you have, it is certainly more than a lot of people do, but why can't you wait just a little longer and do it all as ethical breeders do?
Keep in mind, you are not living in Germany, your dogs I presume are not imports as you have not mentioned that, so why do you feel the need to breed before both of your dogs reach 24 months old, which is the norm in North America?
You said you have no problem breeding at 18 months if health checks are in place, but clearly, without a final OFA report, they are not in place, so MAYBE being patient is the best thing to do .... JMHO.
