Thread: Fat Labs

of the lines I have been looking at for a few years now, all health test, the health testing is the first thing tooted by the show side I might add, both blame the other for not testing.... I suppose the field lines you mention need to be split into the actual working lines and the common and I hate to say it, back yard specials.
EIC testing is gaining ground with many of the top uk working kennels and it is great to see.

Unfortunately there are some ( both Show and Field ) breeders who still don't believe in EIC, and others test , not because they believe in the problem but because it helps them sell pups.

one would hope that the pup buyers are insisting on buying from EIC tested parents, breeders can't hide it if the market starts asking for it.
