My companion people don't do this just for me.........it is also guaranteeing them they have a solid dog. I know I have done all I can to insure the fact. I push the limited, and follow up with each pup..... It is just $50 bucks more to get the hips shot while they are under......then the owners know and I know that the hips are solid. Mo Well, like I said, my hat is off to you. I follow up, do the holiday type newsletter, get pics back from most, get the occasional e-mail brag (which are the BEST...one started herding last week!)....but the only time I get any health info is when they suspect something might be wrong or something their vet tells them is contradicting something in my puppy packet....like shot protocol. Maybe I should offer a $50 rebate....
