I can understand why a responsible breeder may not want to test for everything under the sun. However, if they want to be considered reputable, they should at least test for a couple of the health issues that their breed is known for.

Agreed.. I only asked her if she done any testing for a couple specific defects and she began lecturing how wanting a "perfect" puppy is unrealistic and that life is life and nothing is perfect, lol

I tried to explain I am not aiming for a perfect puppy, and that investing the time and money into having some tests done is not to make "perfect" offspring but healthy ones. But of course she knows that, she's just beating around the bush about the real reason she doesn't do any testing.
