Studies show that the causes of hip dysplasia are only about 20% genetic, 80% activity-related (before their growth plates close) Do you agree to limit the intensity of your dog's activity for their first 12 to 24 months (the larger the dog, the longer it takes) to encourage healthy joints? Our puppies are not permitted to use any stairs excessively, jump on/off any furniture, take part in any agility training, bike rides or strenuous hikes/runs during that time. Ignoring this once you have your puppy will void your health guarantee. Will you follow our instructions? *
