Find A breeder who will be there for you through the long term.

RED FLAG-Watch out for Breeders who only show "genetically tested" rather than doing all the required health screening. If the Spinone breeder is stating that the sire and dam are DNA tested, ask Breeder what they are DNA tested for. Unless the Breeder is testing for cleared C.A. (Cerebellar Ataxia), as of yet there's not much information in the Spinone genetic database to identify markers for diseases.

Remember, while health screening of breeding stock cannot guarantee that your puppy will be excluded from any of these problems, the risk factor is mitigated substantially.

Selincourt in 1683 wrote about this breed in his book "Le Parfait Chasseurs" He called him Italian Griffon. He has strength and brains and gentle nature which makes him useful for hunting in rough fields and swamps.

	We warrant our puppies: Free from any debilitating, life threatening, hereditary diseases or conditions for the first year of life. We have done all that is humanly possible to breed dogs of good health. We do not breed dogs with a history of Cerebellar Ataxia. Dogs chosen to be bred or dog's sire and dam have DNA markers indicating it is clear of Cerebellar Ataxia. AHT research has indicated that the test is 95-98% accurate. CLEAR dogs have 2 copies of the normal gene and will neither develop Cerebellar Ataxia, nor pass a Cerebellar Ataxia gene to their offspring. This DNA test detects markers close to the gene responsible for CA. We do not breed dogs with hip or elbow dysplasia, or any other debilitating condition or terminal illness. Eyes on the sire and dam are CERF approved. A pup developing any of the a fore mentioned conditions or diseases can be returned and will be replaced, free of charge, with a pup from another litter, or monies refunded (not including any shipping charges or veterinarian cost) The pup must be returned to seller with current shot record and AKC papers. A letter from two veterinarians with the findings must be mailed or faxed to Mountain Valley Spinone's Veterinarian.
