OFA (hips and elbows) and Genetically tested- cleared of any genetic conditions nor is he a carrier. This is something we are very proud of and suggest that any potential sire you choose has similar testing to prove being a suitable stud. Ruger a proven stud having sired numerous litters. He has an amazing temperament and loves to be with us and our 3 young children. He is between 50-55lb. He is a proven stud who has sired numerous litters. For Rugers safety and the safety of your female we do require a current Brucellosis test. A local vet near us can do this test for roughly 50$. They can also have results same day. I would question any breeder who does not require this. If you are not familiar with this condition I suggest a quick google search. This can leave your female sterile and ensure that any pups born will not be viable. Our fee is $600 for a dog that is dropped off and picked up later that day and $700 for a dog that stays the night. Additional nights may be possible at an additional expense. This happens within our home under supervision at all times. I work from home and will be with your dog at all times. We look at this as a partnership and will attempt again on next heat if for some reason unsuccessful. Necessary documentation would be required from a licensed vet.
