Cody's hip score is 14 but you don't give his elbow score. Blossoms hip and elbow score just says HD & ED free under the BVA scheme, so what's her actual BVA score numbers ?

Cody was not Elbow scored. & Blossom is not scored under BVA, she is scored under FCI which is stated on her webpage onour website.

My understanding regarding FCI & BVA is anything under BVA 10 is equivalent to HD free under FCI.

Is the same old same though, 2 parents can be ED & HD free & produce a whole litter of Dysplastic puppies. I like a low score but more importantly look at what is behind the parents & grandparents.
Am looking forward to seeing how these furbies turn out

So what's her FCI score ? Don't get me wrong, I would rather if a breeder gave the actual score results and not just say ''HD free'', I for one would like to see actual proof, and reputable breeders don't have any problems showing actual proof and not sugar coating it with something like...''HD free''.

We too are very excited

Blossoms sire is Lasquites Dakota Von Iceman who is scored FCI HD-A / ED-0 & her Dam is Numebamsens Isabel FCI HD-C / ED-0

Codys sire is Multi, world & intl CH Chandlimore Hold Your horses who was scored in Norway whilst with britt FCI HD-A / ED-0

As a very well known & world wide breeder once told me, "there is more to a dog than its 'number or letter', you need to take the whole dog when breeding ... if it moves right it is built right"

Good job us reputable breeders send our puppies with copies of the certificates then isn't it? lol

Well..... sugar coating? I for one have no qualms of reporting scores .. as seen on our website & some 'reputable' breeders dont score .. !

The actual 'score' for her as far as i am aware is 'Free' as reported by the breeder who scored her under FCI .....

May i ask why you are so concerned regarding my litter?

yet again it all goes back to the 2 parents could be 0:0 hip scored and produce terrible puppys!

i know a dog whos score is 28 which SOME say is way too high and he moves like a dream?

scoring is "important" in some ways but totally unimportant in other ways

also if all this hype about hip scores carry on i think alot of pet owners who just want one litter for example, will use which ever dog has the lowest score when actually a dog with a higher score may well be better suited for that mating

also i still think hip scoring it only half worth doing as there is no actuall cut off point where the kennel club says the score is too high and you cant register puppies from the said dog!

i too am looking forward to seeing kathys puppies - cant wait to see the pics! getting broody lol

Relax, I was only asking lol

I have been told by the Vet that scored her, thats good enough for me whilst we await her papers to arrive from the NKK!!

I am fully relaxed .. thanks Just wondered why such an interest in Blossom's scores.

Heather, I'm involved in this breed a heck of lot longer than you, I'm an FCI and AKC breed judge and have seen enough to know what I'm talking about.

this has gone off topic please get back to the topic of kathys puppies not who knows more or how long people have been in the breed

cheri

Just thought it was genuinely funny how you went about asking that's all!!
And yes of course you have officially been in the breed longer than me.

Good luck with your 2 litters in Ireland this year

LOL, its Ok Cherie .. I suspect I know who this person is ...... all I can say is that she could have asked in better manner instead of hiding behind an 'alias'. I have no probs jsut a weird way of gaining info really

I know some posts have been deleted by the site owner as the posts went off topic. I have no problemm with people replying & saying what they want. I have no shame or nothing to hide, the information i give is as true as it can be & what i have to hand.

I am very excited about our litter, regardless of people trying to undermine others & bring the tone down as it were with petty mindedness & backhanded comments. The breeding game is not who knows more than who, we all know how to breed a litter, its about using the right combinations to make it healthy as we can make it. Hypocrisy is not the way forward!

well said kathy

i dont want to have to "babysit" posts or put people on watch lists we should all be here for fun! posts were deleted off topic as they were quite personal and not about blossom or her puppies

EVERYONE ELSE.... this is kathys post about puppies if you cant share her happiness please dont post on here -

as always questions and heated debates are fine but dont try and undermind or upset others

thankyou

well well well what has gone on here

i'm mega excited for Kathy, Cody and Blossom, i'm just glad that they weren't due a week earlier, on the 10th as it would have been our Momo's 7th birthday and i'm afraid I just would have had to have a pup off you, if we didn't have our little chewbag here i would have bit your arm off

I know the pups are going to be absolute stunners, and can't wait to see them

I think it's pretty sad to try and ridicule people in that kind of sneaky underhand way, complete and utterly uncalled for it's not school and we're not in the playground, let's act like the adults we are
