Hi, I am looking to get a puppy and saw a gorgeous litter today all fox red! Everything is fine other than on the KC document it said the puppies COI is 14.6%. I know for this breeds is should be 6.6%. The other issue is that the Sire is all clear with hip score of 6 but the Dam has no hip score and her mother had a test at 4 yes old with a hip score of 42 due to one side being significantly higher than the other. Does all this information make it a deal breaker? Everything else was fine. Thanks.
Personally I would not consider any litter with a COI above the breed standard. I knew nothing about this when buying my current dog who had an aggressive form of cancer at 18 months believed to be genetic. 14.6 is very high.
