O hips....
An xray pf apuppy is a good idea but it is just as napshot of the current status. Good to have, but no insurance against problems down the road with growth, aging, traumas etc.
Having a record of the parents' hips gives you a much bigger comfort zone and thus reduces the crap-shoot odds a lot but again there are no guarantees. In my book that is one of the best reasons why I would deal with a reputeble bteeder.
