I never said I did prelims on all my puppies. Where did you get that idea? I would have sworn I said I only test the dogs who will hopefully end up in my breeding program. I also said I suggest to people to eventually test their pets and let me know the results and many of them do. There is a whole page on the Premier Site that explains what I ask my pet buyers to do--things that will help breeders do a better job in selecting potential sires and dams. I don't require them to do it, but I do ask very nicely. I do testing on all the dogs I keep by 12-15 months of age for one reason only. If they have an obvious problem I can rehome them when they are still quite young. I think it is easier on them and especially on ME to be able to rehome them at 12-15 months of age instead of 24-27 months of age.
