Hi there,

I have recently put a deposit down on 2 week old pups but on the basis I can choose the actual pup when they are 6 weeks.
I asked the breeder about health screening and she said the dam was checked by the vet and is heart clear. I asked about hip and thyroid screening but she said this is not done in boxers.
does anyone know if this is correct?? from what i have read there should be more health screening tests.
The sire has also been heart tested clear. Do you think i need to see the heart test papers for the dam???

Thanks

yes you should see the results in black and white of both sire and dam.

Thanks for your reply, i dont suppose you know what health screening tests boxers should have done??

If you email the breed club they should tell you what health tests should have been carried out and what the results should be. I would get both parents results in black and white and any good breeder should be happy to give you these. Minimum apparently are hips, elbows, eyes and heart testing.
