    Congrats on finding a litter near you! I know you've been looking for a good while now.

    The very first thing I would do is get the registered names of the the sire and dam, and check them on the OFA webpage for clearances.

    Orthopedic Foundation for Animals - Companion Animal Research Center

    Knowing what you went through with Chili and his elbows I'm sure it would give you peace of mind knowing the parents have been tested.

    visit went well. putdown deposit for first choice out of 6 males. the breeder has been breeding for 4 years or so...so at least has some experience. he has been in akc for a while and mom and pa both registered...might send akc numbers to a board member to do some research...but Im pretty happy with my choice. dont need my paranoia/ptsd coming out. both mom and dad very good duck hunting dogs and very trim/athletic...so chili gonna be in for a workout...should be good for him

    That's awesome that you found a pup so close! Can't wait to see the puppy pictures. I paid cash for each of my boys. My breeder provided a very detailed receipt that included the puppy health guarantee.

    Fun times!
