Hello,
Im from Vancouver, BC, Canada and im looking to adopt a cavy puppy. I have talked to quite a few breeders now in BC, but either the breeders didnt have any puppies or I didnt like the sound of the breeder.
Well a few days ago I came in contact with a breeder who sounds wonderful and has a 8 week old male blenheim for adoption. He is absolutely adorable! She is very knowledgeable and said and asked all the right things. When I asked her about health checks, she told me the dam has had eyes and heart done recently but she wasnt sure how recently the sire had had his done.
Well I talked to her again and now I just found out that what she meant by eyes and heart being done is that both parents have been checked for their eyes and have the cerf thing done, but the hearts have only been checked by a vet. She told me the dam and sire's parents and grandparents have all been checked and are healthy.
She told me its very hard to get the heart checked by a cardiologist in BC, because there are none, which I know is true and that they are having a clinic for them in june and she is taking the dam then.
I have to give a deposit for the puppy if I want him....
What should i do???? THis little guy is probably the only one I can get now otherwise I have to wait until summer 08, and he seems perfect (his eyes have been cerf checked as well).
