Raja Clavata Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 Logically that would surely depend on the results of the test? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveK Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 hello all i am about to get both my cockers eyes tested prior to the birth/sale of my puppies. Do you think this test will help my pups sell better Not having it done has never stopped any of my pups selling, nor any of the pups people I know have sold.

mosa Posted October 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 Just returned from a 5hr round trip to Edinburgh to get both my cockers eyes examined and both are perfect . Pups in aprox 2 weeks hopefully!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WGD Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 Well done mate for testing, it is lacking in spaniel breeding. Better late than never right enough, would have been better before the mating? I am being picky... but what if both tests had given bad results, would you have informed the potential purchasers of the pups? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mosa Posted October 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 yes i would i would hate to be duped in any way. I was just slightly ignorant and your right late on. Now i can offer the best service i can to prospective new owners. I am really pleased i had it done to at least try to protect my litter and any further i may have (doubtful though) or through my pups Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dangerzone Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 Well done mate Dont listen to the clowns who say they dont do it, I'd rather buy a pup from you than them, everyone who breeds should test their dogs before they breed with them............

Horses for courses. You do it your way and I'll do it mine. It's never been a problem so swivel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 as WQD says better late than never, if you're going to do it its definitely best before the mating as had you found a genetic defect you've then got a litter of pups that could potentially have it. Dave Ignorance in your case definitely is bliss, don't knock other responsible breeders eh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dangerzone Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Dave K, it's not about wether the pups will sell or not, it's about being responsable with your breeding. You may only want to make a quick buck on some pups and have a "who cares if there's anything wrong with them, so long as Dave K makes as much money with as little cost as he can" attitude, personaly I'd not allow pups breed from unscreened perents to be regisered. It would encourage the "clowns" to have their dogs tested P.D.Q. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

v-max Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 yes i would i would hate to be duped in any way. I was just slightly ignorant and your right late on. Now i can offer the best service i can to prospective new owners. I am really pleased i had it done to at least try to protect my litter and any further i may have (doubtful though) or through my pups If the eyes had faild you get you KC reg stamped & you can not register the litter as they have you details. I had people interested in my cocker dog but knocked it back till he was 3yrs old & i have eye tested him & he is clear & the eye tester was glad to see me doing it & as i said i o it to the breed to do it.
