I think that's a totally reasonable policy for your puppies... honestly, I'd probably think twice about a breeder that WASN'T interested in the genetic health of their puppies, no matter if they're pet, performance, or show.
A dog with hip dysplasia or bad eyes or luxating patellas will still suffer & have issues, whether they're a pet dog or a show dog. Breeders should keep track of the health of alllll of the puppies they produce!
I have had both of my dogs checked out, and they're both rescue dogs, and not particularly high performance. It still matters to me, so that I can prepare for the future, in case either of them had health issues (thankfully they are both healthy).
