I have a couple questions about a pup that the family went to look at yesterday. Below is a pic of her mom. She is a grey Newf, but her coat bothered me. She looked shaved for the summer, but the owner said no it's her normal coat. Is this type of coat normal or acceptable? Wondered if it had something to do with hormones from having the pups. Hubby thinks she may not be pure Newf b/c of the coat. Also, if all's on the up 'n up. What's the chances of the pup having that type of coat?
So, can you slip a mixed by AKC? The pups are registered and I saw the pedigree from AKC. But can that too be fudged?
The father is OFA certified for hips and I did find him on the registry. But it's just hip not heart or anything else.
Now another big question, the vet has diagnosed the pup with entropian and adviced to see if she grows out of it. If she doesn't, then surgery is an option but only when she's done growing. I know about entropian, but would you steer clear of the pup b/c of that?
