ok, this is a touchy subject. genetic testing, etc, isn't just so you can jack prices up. people get it done because they owe it to the breed, the potential adopters, and especially the dogs involved to check for any problems that could shorten their lives, cause them pain during their life, etc. it's done out of love because the breeder wants the best for everyone involved and don't want to cause unnecessary pain and suffering to anyone involved. waiting at least until their two is simply because of the maturity. just like people, yeah, you can have a baby at 14, BUT you won't be mature. it's more likely that a 14 y/o teenager will not take care of her baby, or maybe she wants to but just doesn't have the ability to. it's the same with dogs. most breeders care about their dogs being grown not only physically but mentally before breeding. i have 5 dogs and not one of them is registered, BUT i have also gotten 3 of them from BYB litters (and peanut from a "reputable" breeder) and i am paying dearly for not getting them from "tested" parents. axle has HD, ED, he's cross eyed, has skin and stomach problems, and the list goes on. caine has skin problems. peanut has problems with his mouth structure. diesel, our dane, i don't even want to go there. he's beyond unhealthy. all because people wanted their "baby" to have babies, or they just wanted the money involved, and didn't care about the things that should have been done before hand. why did i get them then? because they needed someone willing to take good care of them, regardless of their health problems. peanut, actually came from papered parents and has papers that i just won't send off, and he still has problems. people here aren't trying to bash you, but you really aren't showing much love towards the breed by just wanting to have puppies so your friends can have one.
