Elbows: Each elbow is scored from 0 to 3 with the highest score of either elbow being used to score the dog. The lower the score the better. The UK breed average is currently 0
Eye tests: Both dogs have been tested within the previous 12 months under the British Veterinary Association / Kennel Club scheme and no hereditary eye conditions have been detected.

We are pleased to announce the mating of Bentley to the Czech bred bitch Lola, Gloris Z Rohateckych Luk.
Lola resides in Austria with her owner Gϋnther Wonisch.
All being well the puppies should be born in late September and given the change in the law regarding the pet passport scheme due to come in on 1st January 2012, these puppies will benefit from that change for anyone wishing to bring a puppy into the UK.
