I have never heard of a vet requiring anasthetic for x-rays before. My vet doesn't require it and it only takes 20 minutes. $90 for hips and elbows, $40 for eyes.
Either way I think I will just charge less for a puppy who is getting health tested. Basically they will be saving money if they buy a pup for less and do the testing. And since I am keeping semen from every litter I breed, the males I am collecting from will be tested by myself with my own money anyways which will give me atleast one idea of how the health of my litters are. I will make it mandatory however to send in swabs to the Epilepsy research foundation.

they WANT your pups, YOU make the demands.
That is how I feel in a way. I know so many people who have gotten a "deal" on their dog and in return their dog has to pump out several litters and they must pay for the costs of said litters. Then the breeder takes the pups and sells them. If people are willing to do that..

I think if people really were passionate about the health of their breed and spent time dealing with it they would understand better..There can be carriers for several generations who have affected siblings..but since no one keeps track of the siblings, no one knows their lovely breeding dog is a carrier. And then they bred it to another carrier, and voila, there is a litter of affected dogs. Loki probably has PRA, and since he is showing signs so early, he will probably go blind early. He has untested relatives that are showing the same symtpoms but because they are in pet homes, they haven't been tested and their owners have just assumed that their dogs are strange. If those pet dogs had been tested properly, Loki and the rest of his siblings would not have been born, and there would be less blind dogs in the world. How can people preach about responsible breeding but turn a shoulder when the responsibility falls on them? That is what I feel like. Like people care more about spending a couple hundred dollars than they do about the health of an entire breed. When you look at a pedigree you have to look at those dogs but also the dogs they produced, the dogs in their litter, the dogs behind them, their aunts and uncles, etc. It is not as easy as looking at a healthy dog and assuming it's breedable. You could be breeding a dog with good hips out of an entire litter of dysplastic siblings. Because Loki may have PRA, this means that Solo and Jaguar are probably carriers. Jaguar has just recently been bred. So many things could have been avoided if all of the relatives who weren't in the pedigree had been tested.
