We do an examination complete with paperwork with an opthamologist prior
to selling our puppies.

All puppies are examined.

How much has this helped your breeding programs?

We do at least one, sometimes two full veterinary examinations.  One is
within a week of the puppies' placement.

Our puppies get most if not all of their immunizations before they leave
here except for rabies.  (I really try hard to hold off on rabies until
the last minute).  We use 1/2 volume immunizations of DHPP.  No Lepto,
no corona, no bordatella, etc.

I hope that this is helpful!
