Keep in mind while shopping to check for health certifications. If they have checked the eyes, hips or thyroid, they will have actual cert. to show for it. Many register with OFA (orthepidic foundation for animals) . Punch up OFA and go to their site. This site is for the public to view. Many times you can put in the kennel name and review the results on individual dogs. This is helpful but not fool proof. Breeders can opt to not have bad results published. But if a breeder has multiple dogs listed it gives you an idea that they are taking more care than most with their breeding program. Best if you see results on the actual parents.

Good luck finding the right one. Taking extra effort to find the right one has its rewards.
