I have a bit of a situation. I have wanted another American Eskimo for a few years now. I currently have one already, he is a mini and is 10 years old and has never had health problems. I am getting a toy/mini from a breeder down south for $650. I was originally going to get a toy for 1000 from a breeder out west, and that puppy was going to be genetically tested against PRA(progressive retinal atrophy) which can be prone in eskies although its not terribly common. Now my breeder says I cannot believe everything i read but i have noticed from a few breeders that they do this genetic testing for their eskimos. My breeder doesn't, she also does not give a health guarantee she only does the first shots and a vet check. Now i do not have the funds to get the 1000 dollar dog, i probably never will. I am responsible tho, i am a vet tech and will be putting the puppy on insurance. I just wanted advice as to what i should do!
