Our little Amber passed her physicals (Update 3/26)

[lokidog]

Woohoo.  Amber passed her physicals, eyes, heart, elbows and hips. The vet even said she couldn't have more perfect looking hips.  Now we're just waiting for the genetic testing to see if she is a carrier for ichthyosis, a potential skin rash/itchy/dandruff condition.  Her mom was a carrier so she has a 50/50 chance of being a carrier.  Fortunately, it is a recessive trait so dogs have to have both alleles (variations of the gene) to show this phenotype (outward expression of genes).

Next step, find her a boyfriend.

Beautiful pup.  It's ashame you have to do so much testing with certain breeds to guarantee their health.  Kudos to you for having the breeds best interest in mind.  If there were more people like you, we wouldn't have many of the issues we do with some breeds!

You got the cheap part done,now for the part that tests them between the ears.How old is she?

Alexi and Sam's Lil' Bro Terlingua

Good Hips, Elbows, Eyes. Not sure on the Ichthyosis.

He's Qualified All Age and Jammed his last four Open All Age entries. He's a training partners dog. Good looking golden too. Darker color and nice size about 70-75lbs.

Let me know if you want contact info. Dog is currently running trials in Texas. Probably be back local around April/May depending upon Montana weather. He's produced a big litter or two already. Rob will require OFFA results, not a vet saying they look good. Have the films been sent to OFFA?

Terlingua?  Tell Amber to watch out for them cowboys   

Glad she is healthy

[lokidog]

Yes, it has been sent in.  We think she will come in sometime in January. She has not been really regular. 

Ww, she is a bit over two.  She has her Started Retriever title, and is a smart dog that loves birds and hunting them.

Here's a link to more of her info.   http://www.k9data.com/pedigree.asp?ID=513545

If I may ask, where did you get her?

[RainingSteel]

Woop woop, go amber!

[lokidog]

If I may ask, where did you get her?

Windy Ridge Kennel in southern OR.  I think they may have retired from the breeding game though.

Here is a series of photos at the beach, she spotted a piece of driftwood that she thought was a bird.  I love how she pops up to try to get a better view.

Man she is a pretty little thing.  I've got pup fever because we're getting a beagle pup or two in the summer and I keep coming back to look at her   

[irishevox]
