I was the same. Oscar was a rescue, so parentage unknown. But Alfie i got because i befriended his mums owners. She was a rescue with no know history, and dad was a KC registered dog, but the fact that he covered a rescue female, says a lot about his owners ethics.
Tbh, i knew nothing about health testing at the time, i merely got the fat little puppy i liked the look of. Ive been extremely fortunate that hes had no major health problems. I did have his elbows x-rayed as i was CONVINCED he didnt walk properly, but they were perfectly fine.
Id never make such naive mistakes again, but then again, i dont plan to ever buy a puppy again. Ive certainly learnt a great deal from the breeding section on here, and of course has gained knowledge just through being a dog owner.
