What is Baer Testing? it's a hearing test. We have never had a deaf puppy but we still check the pups. Deafness can happen from the environment, nutrition, genetics - so many reasons and rather complicated but testing is important to evaluate the pup and it allows us as breeders to make decisions based on what we know, not what we assume.
Two pups from our friend Paula is here as they were in for Baer testing. In Sudbury, where Paula is from you have to wait for clinics or drive 10 hours round trip but here in Toronto we are blessed with having someone local.
One of the pups will be going back to Sudbury as soon as we can make travel arrangements and the other is going to her forever home (her name is Bella) on Thursday. We are excited for her. These are our Kat's and Paula's Teaser pups. One of the pups is going back to Paula as a show potential after her adventure here getting a test done and getting to socialize with the other dawgs. We will miss these two and so will Red.
We now have a date in March for Raylan to make his way to England and then it will be Red's turn. Talk about missing.... These pet passports from Defra are so complicated.
But they will be loved!
