Breedia Dog Forum
I too thought it is better for the hips / shoulders of larger breeds to restrict the type of exercise, amount and avoid them running up and down...
They're lovely pics - thanks for sharing. :grin:
Thanks. So an unscrupulous breeder can still allow breeding from poor health/dogs with faults. If there is a known hereditary illness, parents...
As far as I know it is hips and possibly eyes, then recommendations, but don't quote me on that. I believe there are endorsements but pet only...
Much as I don't agree with finger-pointing/judging strangers - I would have to agree with this. As an NI owner, of course any issues with lines...
PS: currently I'm hoping to have Kia hip scored at the same time as speying and possibly (still to check with vet) have the swabs done at the same...
Actually the last point only came about due to (mis) accusatory statements by one particular person. However, I take your point and ask...
although that is something that always gets me - where did the first ones come from? Could say the same for any being, humans included.

I believe - but don't quote me - it's the utonagan's that have akita in some lines. Definitely not the Northern Inuit though.
Not sure why you have the Akita included. Nevertheless, Kia had 7 puppies - 3 boys and 4 girls
I was more worried that it says for each swab you have to roll it at least 20 times inside the cheek. That's 80 times per dog, not sure how long...
It is confusing, if they're being crossed, then they wont be NI's anyway will they?
I'm doing my 4 as well.... somehow
undescended testicle issue in my dogs - no pups had it including males. 2 boys now snipped, girls as soon as possible.
The society does keep a database and I do update my entries if anything changes
This is a fair point, and whatever tests I do I will make common knowledge - I have no intention of breeding (my males have both been snipped - girl...
Plus I donate in the region of 700 pounds per year to various wildlife/animal welfare charities - kcjack, you really are not the only person in the...
