Health
AT DBR WE HAVE DONE OUR BEST TO ELIMINATE GENETIC PROBLEMS NORMALLY ASSOCIATED WITH THE BREED. (THESE INCLUDE HIP DYSPLASIA, ENTROPIAN an eye lid disorder, EARLY CANCER, ICTHYOSIS a skin disease, DEAFNESS) FROM TIME TO TIME ISSUES WILL OCCUR BEYOND OUR CONTROL AS SOME HEALTH PROBLEMS ARE CAUSED BY MORE THAN 1 GENE AND ARE HARD TO PREDICT. IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH YOUR PUP WE WILL DO OUR BEST TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. TEMPERAMENT ISSUES ARE DEFINITELY A SERIOUS ISSUE AND ALSO COVERED BY OUR REPLACEMENT GUARANTEE. IN THIS CASE WE ALWAYS WANT THE DOG RETURNED SO WE CAN EVALUATE AND TREAT THE DOG IN THE BEST WAY.
IN ORDER TO GET A REPLACEMENT PUP WE WILL NEED ALL SHOT AND OTHER VET RECORDS SHOWING THAT THE PUP HAS BEEN GETTING ALL THE VACCINATIONS AND CARE NEEDED. WE NEED PROOF OF A QUALITY DIET AND ADEQUATE HOUSING, ESPECIALLY WITH HIP DYSPLASIA SINCE CARE CAN CONTRIBUTE TO THE DEVELOPMENTAL DISORDER, KEEP RECEIPTS.
IMPORTANT!
NEVER RAISE A PUP ONLY ON CEMENT! A SOFT CLEAN KENNEL WITH SAND OR A RUBBER MAT, EVEN A SMALL WOOD DECK IF YOU HAVE CEMENT. A NICE DIRT YARD TO RUN IN IS NEEDED FOR PROPER DEVELOPMENT. KEEP YOUR PUP EXERCISED AND NOT OVER WEIGHT! IT IS HEALTHY TO SEE THE FIRST FEW RIBS BY4-6 MONTHS OLD. DON'T OVER-FEED. USE GOOD QUALITY FOOD AND SUPPLEMENTS. WE RECOMMEND AT LEAST 15% TO 18% OMEGA FAT & 26% OR HIGHER PROTEIN
IT IS ALSO VERY IMPORTANT TO TREAT YOUR DOG FOR PARASITES. PREVENT HEARTWORM AND OTHER INTESTINAL PARASITES FROM FLEAS, MOSQUITOES AND TICKS. ASK YOUR VET ABOUT COST EFFECTIVE TREATMENTS FOR INTESTINAL PARASITES ON A MONTHLY BASIS!
IF YOU DO HAVE AN ISSUE WITH YOUR DBR PUP OR ADULT DOG WE WILL NEED COPIES OF YOUR RECORDS. WE NEED A STATEMENT FROM THE VET DESCRIBING THE EXACT NATURE AND ONSET OF THE HEALTH ISSUE AND WHAT KIND OF CARE IS NEEDED WE ALWAYS TRY TO MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO KEEP OUR BULLDOG FAMILIES HAPPY PLEASE DO LET ME KNOW ABOUT EVEN MINOR HEALTH ISSUES AS SOON AS POSSIBLE SO I CAN BE AWARE AND ALTER BREEDING PLANS IF NEEDED! THANKS, LORI HAAKER
