I assumed she meant health checks as opposed to proper genetic testing and hip and elbow scores etc. We all know what OP means by health checks sadly

Yes.
I imagine by 'health checks' she means that the vet said she was fit and well when she had her annual vaccination

I think puppy buyers should take responsibility too. Look to see what health conditions a breed is predisposed to and ensure they are buying from a breeder who is breeding from dogs who have had all the appropriate screening tests.

I think (hope) CT means that health “checks “ are meaningless because what dogs should have before breeding are health TESTs . As well as hips and elbows I would want BOAS for any bull breed .

Didn’t notice that, good spot.
Exactly. Unfortunately, as the specialist said on Wednesday, x rays don’t usually detect the issue Mitch has, plus can give false positives, so the point is moot (but of course somebody on ui has to have the usual go. Talk about kicking someone when they’re down!) A ct scan is needed and I don’t think the vast majority of breeders do those.
This.Yes.

Indeed.

'It's only a laugh, no harm done'
These posts pop up every so often from new users who for some reason join to post an 'is she/isn't she' question on a *horse forum* about their usually quite-far-along pregnant bitch who is never health tested and is usually of controversial breeding and everyone gets hot under the collar and then we never hear from them again.

➡️ Why are we importing thousands of animals into the UK because we want them to have mutilations that impact their mental and physical health and welfare? Ear cropping is illegal in England and...

I suspect the bitch may not be imported and anyone with a pair of scissors and a young pup can emulate the hacked off look for maximum coolness.

Her ears don't look hacked off to me, am I missing something?

Yeah, I'm sure they can and Amazon were selling DIY kits.
I remembered reading the Veterinary Voices post recently and thought I would share.

I think it's hard to tell from the photo whether her ears are natural or cropped.

In the second pic you can see her ear is very straight and pointed and that's not how they are naturally. Idiots mutilate them for some unknown reason.

OP if you're still reading, I don't think your dogs ears are cropped and I hope I'm right and she's ok. If she doesn't have her pups there are lots of pocket bully's in rescues looking for homes if you want another. It's always best to get them to a vet if you've got any concerns, it's very hard for us to help from a picture.

Bless her! She's lovely.
The forum isn't very pro bully dogs in general but I hope you come back to let us know how she gets on x

Hope talking to the vet has put you more at ease OP, being in limbo with a beloved pet is awful

Health tests aren't meaningless, as someone who never had a dog before I'd need as much information as possible. The more health tests the better. It's going to be easier for me to look after a dog that's breed well, and will hopefully have less health problems than an dog with parents who's got minimal or no health tests.

Eyes look bright.
Nice clean ears.
Teeth are in good condition without too much tartar build up.
Heart sounds okay on a basic stethoscope.
That's all you need to check with these bully breeds
You wouldnt want to do any more than that. It would eat into your profits.

I do feel a bit sorry for OP on this/these threads, presuming their purchase of the dog and the decision to breed it hs been done through ignorance rather than knowing the facts and going ahead anyway.

I agree.
I got the impression that she is a much loved little dog. She most likely has a lovely nature which is why the owner wanted puppies from her for herself and family.
