Any red Flags Here?

[freddyp]

Well so far this breeder of EM seems to be top notch, but I'm new to this. Breeders are veterinarians and I imagine this is a plus??

Very informative website and if you click on pictures of individual dogs there are pics of all the health testing results including Optigen results for PRA. Also pics of complete pedigrees.
I have never seen a site that offers this much info up front !

Does anybody see an issue here before I make a phone call? I don't to waste their time or mine.

Thank you

Here are some articles that may help. I would say if they take the time to show and heath test they are someone to look further at. I would be asking about evidence of cancer, bloat, epilepsy, dysplasia, etc. in their lines. I would want to know how old the parents, grandparents and great grandparents are and if they have passed what they died from. I would want to know if anyone had returned a puppy back to them and why. I would want a reference or 2 from their last litter and ask the people about the temperament, health of the pups and how the breeder was after the sale. I would want to know what kind of socialization plan they have for the pups before they go home. A serious breeder who wants the best for their pups will have a plan and not just have pups sitting in the kennel with the bitch. I would want to know the temperament of the parents and grandparents and meet the dogs if possible. If you cant meet the parents but they were shown you at least know they were behaved enough to do shows (lots of people, strange dogs and strangers touching them).

You could do far worse in getting a pup from Terremere.
