Hi Janet, have been thinking of you
 How are you going?The sites below may be helpful. Because I do not live in the USA I'm not 100% sure of which test certification you should demand to see (appart from OFA), so hopefully someone will be able to let you know what health test certificates you should be seeing and how to read them. Heart, Hip, Tyroid testing should have been done. Interviewing Breeders (a Great Dane site but relevant) http://www.gdr.com/current/novcbrdr.html Breeder Comparison http://www.dog-play.com/breedercomparison.htm What Makes a Breeder "Responsible? http://www.iupui.edu/~ihls400/responsible_breeder.html There are many links about Breeding / Breeders here as well http://boxerworld.com/links/Breeding_Information/ Boxer Cardiomyopathy http://www.boxergallery.com/articles/cardiomyopathy.htm Boxer Heart Study http://animalultrasound.com/boxerhtstudy.htm Hypothyroidism http://clubs.akc.org/abc/boxerhypothyroidism.htm Hip Dysplasia http://www.petinfocenter.com/dogs/hip_dysplasia.htm OFA Site http://www.offa.org/ take care Sharon |
