IMPORTANT
Considerations for Purchasing Your Puppy, Companion, and Friend:

Hip and Elbow Dysplasia are a serious genetic defect in all large breeds. Hip and
Elbow Dysplasia can cause crippling and suffering in the life of a dog.  It can also be
without symptoms.  Just because a dog moves normally does not mean it is free from
dysplasia.  If a dog is dysplastic and bred even if it has no outward symptoms, it will
carry this polygenetic trait for generations to come. The only proof that a dog is not
dysplastic is for an adult to have
hip and elbow certification  This is evidenced by the
OFA, PENN HIP and other official certifying organizations in other coutries such as
the West German "A" Stamp that is afixed to the pedigree.
Without hip and elbow
certification breeding should not be a consideration no matter how great the beauty,
pedigree, etc.

This has been the standard of ethical breeders for decades.  

Unfortunately too many breeders for purposes of the almighty dollar ignore
something so simple and basic as hip and elbow certification.  If breeders
had an ounce of ethics over these years we would not be starring suffering
in the face now.  Breeders who ignore such principles cause needless
suffering in our companions and friends and their human families.

(1)  NEVER purchase a puppy out of parentage without hip and elbow certification.
ELBOW CERTIFICATION IS  EQUALLY AS IMPORTANT AS HIP CERTIFICATION.  
The pain and suffering from genetic abnormal elbows can be horrendous.
  
Check out that certification to ascertain that it is genuine.  You can check out the
OFA
ascertain that it is genuine. You can check out the OFA at http://www.offa.org  
The Orthopedic Foundation for Animals  Yes people do lie about hip and elbow
certification. Amazing.  Also another warning: One common unethical breeder
comment is, “Oh, they had preliminary x-rays at such and such an age.”  Then why
is the dog not hip and elbow certified now? If the dog is old enough for his/her OFA
or A stamp then he/she is old enough for certification. Just count that dog as
dysplastic.There are another 100 reasons the unethical breeder will give you as a
reason the parents are not OFA or A Stamp certified normal.*
 Don't listen. Run in
the other direction as fast as you can to an ethical breeder.
There are plenty
of ethical breeders. You do not have to be mislead and hurt by the unethical
breeder or broker.  (4) Do not purchase an older puppy or young adult without
elbow & hip preliminary x-rays with microchip and/or tatoo number on x-rays. The x-
rays should be read by a radiologist.
Do NOT!  Do NOT take the puppy or young
dog into your home prior to preliminary x-rays. You can fall in love with a pup with
normal hips and elbows as easily as one that will bring you heartache for the rest of
your life.  Don't fall into that trap.
 (4) Do not purchase an adult dog without hip &
elbow certification:ie OFA or "A" Stamp (There are hip & elbow certifications for
other countries also*).

If you purchase a puppy out of uncertified parentage then you are
contributing to suffering as much as the unethical breeder.
When the
purchaser starts demanding simple ethics of hip and elbow certification from
breeders and brokers (those who buy low and sell high) they will stop breeding and
selling puppies and dogs that will live in pain and cause their families untold grief.

Do your homework carefully and do not compromise hips, elbows, health, or
temperament.  Our hope is that you will find the perfect pup for YOU and
your family.
