My saints previous owners owned the grand parents too and no health problems ever....just old age. Never a mean bone in their body they said or they would not be breeding them.

Good work is not cheap and cheap work is not good.

Nothing good comes easy....and nothing that comes easy is good.
Good things don't end......unless they end badly!

The sire I have in mind did not come up under that website nor anyone on his pedigree. He did come up as being a valid AKC saint though. I will contact them to see if they can tel me anything. I did ask about hip testing and his hips were tested and found to be excellent and so were his sires but the dams were never done but never had hip problems and she owned them both as well till the passed on.

I asked for the results of the hips that were done so still waiting to hear from owner.

If they were tested and found to be excellent they should be on ofa site. I would be quite concerned about breeding a dog with such little health background.

Curious what are your reasons for wanting to breed her?

post #30 of 371

There is no way to know, t hough without health testing.   It's just a fact.  A dog can have bad h ips and live a normal life, but pass those bad genes on to the next generation.  There are lots of recessive diseases as well.  Without doing the tests there is no way to know if those genes are in the bloodline.  Mix 2 unknown bloodlines and who knows what you can get.  It could be something as minor as missing teeth or as major as a cleft palate.  What about puppies born with hernias?  Those are genetic as we'll, though an over-enthusastic mother can as well.

Also, don't take "oh the vet said the hip xrays pass" as gospel.  Unless you go to an orthopedic specialist, a vet isn't going to have the experience with your particular breed to give a thorough opinion.   

The same applies to "oh the vet said they are healthy".  That is like the elderly man who refuses to go to the doctor because he doesn't think he is sick.   If you don't have any tests done, then you only have assumptions.   

Temperment is more than just "mean".  There is fear, prey drive, aloofness, too friendly, recovery from a startle, reaction to new people/places/things, and on and on.   All of those thing have a genetic element.
