Welcome to the Board.

Can I ask if both parents have been health tested (Fucosidosis, PRA DNA, MRD, Gonioscopy etc)?

hi there my dogs go to the vets regually and are all up to date with injections worming

Ok, thanks.

Oh dear.

Well what's done is done I guess in this case. Probably better to let sleeping dogs lie, plus I'll probably get a slap for being off topic again!

why (oh dear)

I don't really want to go into it and ruin your introduction thread tbh, I was just curious that's all. Certain breeds should be health tested before breeding and English Springers are one of them. Not to worry though, what's done is done now, enjoy your Springer and her pups.

ETA: Thought it was a little unfair to land this at your door without any further info, so here's a link to look at. These tests apply equally to the Show type as it does to the Working type by the way: ESS Health Tests

ETA No. 2: Sorry didn't point out - click the link, go to "Puppies" then "New Puppy Register". All health tests are listed there.

Because before you mate two dogs they should have various health tests. It is irresponsible not to have those tests done.
