This statement worries me, can we discuss more?
Do you understand that if you are experiencing a health or temperament problem with your dog that I would like you to reach out and inform me? I have an extensive knowledge of breed specific health and temperament problems that I can aid with. There are certain health issues in the breed that vets have trouble diagnosing. Additionally, I am happy to help you find a trainer or behaviorist. It is also imperative to my breeding program that I know of any issues like these.
