Very Happy Very Happy Yes I do agree with you on that point Diana , the KC are very slow to update their records, we are still waiting for an eye test that was done in early Dec to be put on one of our records Rolling Eyes , at least they are making some moves in the right direction Smile

If you scan the eye certificate and email it to the Kennel Club they will add it to your records straight away Wink Very Happy .

Sad sorry to hear what happened - unless there was an obvious problem - i would have thought it unlikely the vet would have seen the pup at that age - how awful for all concerned.

I do drag all my pups down to the vets for weighing and a complete health-check before they leave; it is all logged on their computer - god forbid that ever happened - I would hope it would be detected during such a check.

Sad Sad That is so sad.

As Sue said.. Unless there was a noticeable problem I wouldn't take mine to the vets until they were seven weeks of age. It is just to test, heart, lungs and to see if they are generally fit. Some people don't take them to the vet at all.

Fabulous advice - thank you so much. I've been speaking to breeders for the past two weeks and have been asking *most* of these questions, but from now on I'm going to use your excellent list.

As you rightly say, it's very hard to walk away once you're with the breeder and a litter of probably gorgeous puppies....!
