“I do not take deposits until we have puppies born and deemed to be 'available' to a home. Once we make that determination and ask for a deposit, we are saying 'no' to someone else. If for any reason, the puppy is no longer available due to health or other reasons, we will refund the deposit.”

A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
Xanthinuria, Type 2a, von Willebrand Disease I (vWD I), Juvenile Dilated Cardiomyopathy
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
