Checking for health concerns - you have been told - what - these little ones have NO health concerns!
All breeds come with their little and not-so-little concerns about certain health issues. And this little breed is not left out.
By health concerns, I in no way mean the faults noted in the standard - those are mostly cosmetic and a poor tail-set does not jeopardize your pom's life in the same way liver problems would.
There are no perfect poms - we all must breed to improve what we have. Some problems can be bred out - by not using inflicted specimens to breed.
Checks for eyes, hips, knees, are just a few of the available tests that can and must be done if we are to keep our breed in good health.
As Pondside Toys is a new kennel, we will be utilizing these checks in order to maintain the quality that is important to us as breeders.
The few litters we have bred at Pondside are a result of selective breedings, and future breedings will continue to be selected very carefully. Quality puppies are our main concern - not quantity.
