I wish peeps would do their homework more before they buy a pup, all the breed clubs run puppy registers where the only dogs that can be put on the register are bred from hip scored and eye tested parents. A lot of people then say can get it cheaper from places that have not had the parents tested - but it costs them a lot more in the long run in vets bills. The only persons that could help us further this is the Kennel Club by refusing to register any pups whose parents have not had the relative health tests!!!
