HI, i was hoping someone out there could help me, i have 2 lhasa apsos that i would like to breed in the future, providing they pass the eye test, i was making enquires with the opthamoligist vet who said that i should wait until i was ready for breeding and then have them tested, which i will, but what i would like to know that if they do pass and i do breed from them,should there be any restrictions put on the pedigree if the pups in the future were to be used for breeding ie until testing has been done.any info i could get would be great even before i think of breeding from them. please don't think i don't know about breeding as i have done so in the past, but would like to know more about the lhasa.
any info would be a great help

My girl (cocker spaniel) has just been eye tested clear, stud dog is definitely clear too, but I will still be putting restrictions on the pups.  Restrictions can be lifted once the pups  have had the relevant health checks done by their new owners before breeding.

thanks sharon, i just want to make sure i am doing everything proper as breeding is not as easy as some people think.

thanks again

Hi Violet-anne,
i agree with sharon,i have bred and shown apso's for 10 year's and endorse all my pup's ,but will lift the ban when the pup reaches 2 and a copy of a clear eye certificate is received,to tell you the honest truth i did'nt endorse my first litter some years ago and a bitch i sold was matied at 7 month's ,thankfully was given a injection to stop the pregnancy just in case,but then went on to be mated on her second season,and whelped 6 pup's at 13 month's old,un beknown to me ,but through the grape vine i found out,so as from then all my pup's are endorsed ,including the male's

Thanks Keisha, as i said in the previous post i just want to make sure i do everything right.

I am picking up my new Lhasa pup at the end of this month, I know that both the parents have both been eye tested the dam is a champion, is there anything that I should be sure of beside the eye's, The last Lhasa I had died 12 years ago and  I started with them in 1978, before going on to bigger Tibetan breeds
but such a lot has change since I had my last one. He had luxsating patellas is this still a problem to look out for
