RE: female dog
Pup,
I DO AGREE with the Brittany gundog post! Get your dog's O.F.A. done @ 2 yrs old 1st to see how its hips actually are. You do NOT want to have the dog bred if it has bad hip displasia!! Most dogs are guaranteed. Albeit most owners do not wish to have the dog "put down" at this very sorrowful time if hip displasia is found.
Best of Luck!
