We follow the advice of our veteriarians for managing breedings. We do natural breedings, whenever possible and natural births.  We have never needed to do a cesarean section. We do not have pregnant dams radiographed for a litter count (to avoid exposure). All dogs are health tested before breeding and after breeding, they must produce sound offspring or they are retired early.  We also do genetics testing for heritable conditions. Our dog's testing results are open and available for your review either in our files, or in OFA.org's database.  For health test results on the OFA site, please go to www.ofa.org and inquire using the AKC numbers in the listings below. If a test is not listed, there are reasons such as waiting for the dog to be old enough for the test and pending appointments and results. We breed according to the breed standard with the goal of perfection in form and function. The proof is in the progeny! 

3 year health guarantee for hips, heart and eyes.
