🐾 Let’s Talk About the TRUE Value of a Puppy! 🐾

I recently had a conversation with someone selling Cane Corso puppies for $500. I had no intention of purchasing one, but sometimes I ask questions because I believe education is important.

When I asked about OFA and genetic testing, their response was:

β€œNo, we don’t do genetic testing. If we did, the dogs would be $2,000 apiece.”

And THAT is exactly the mindset that concerns me.

So, you recognize that health testing adds value to your breeding program, but choose not to do it?

When I explained the importance of testing, I was told the dogs were healthy, vet checked, and current on vaccinations.

Here’s the problem: A healthy-looking dog isn’t necessarily a genetically healthy dog!

Vaccinations don’t detect hereditary diseases. Routine vet visits don’t replace OFA evaluations. And just because a dog hasn’t shown symptoms doesn’t mean it won’t develop an inherited condition later in life.

Health testing isn’t about justifying a higher price tag. It’s about making informed breeding decisions and giving puppies the best possible start.

A $500 puppy isn’t automatically poorly bred, just as a $2,000 puppy isn’t automatically responsibly bred.

But skipping health testing to keep puppies affordable doesn’t eliminate the risks. It simply passes the unknowns on to the families purchasing them.

And sometimes those unknowns turn into thousands in veterinary bills and unimaginable heartbreak.

If you’re intentionally bringing puppies into this world, you have a responsibility to do everything reasonably possible to protect their future health.

No testing guarantees a perfectly healthy puppy, but choosing not to test guarantees you’re breeding without valuable information.

❀️ Responsible breeding starts BEFORE the puppies are born. Their health should always matter more than their price tag. 🐾

Today on, I can’t make this crap up. Dog owner addition.

The dogs are in the family room. Lucy had an accident in the middle of the night.. you might be wondering how I know it was Lucy? Well because when she p**ps, she does a little dance and drops her p**p in a circle. Also, dog owners are weird and we can decipher each dogs p**ps. πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

That’s besides the point. I was cleaning up, saidοΏΌ accident. I had it in a paper towel and then Rune ran past me and his tail whipped my hand and p**p flew all over and landed on the wall.
