We had a pleasant experience. Rocky(originally copper) is the sweetest, smart, good natured, silly boy, loves to cuddle, can sleep in all kinds of ways and has fit right in with our crew! Love him to pieces 🥰
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
