ETHICS AND VALUES

PART 2

SEBACEOUS ADENITIS:
Until December of 2003, Cerebus did not do skin biopsies for this disease. That is until it showed up in a puppy that I bred back in 1997. Because this disease can strike at anytime during a dog's life; and until a genetic test becomes available, a skin punch biopsy will be preformed on every Samoyed here at Cerebus before a breeding is to take place. The biopsy will be sent to Texas A & M University for a diagnoses. See Chad's Story on Sebaceous Adenitis.

~ Cerebus guarantees for LIFE against Sebaceous Adenitits (SA) (pathology report from dermatologist lab must be done) ~

THYROID:
A complete Thyroid panel is sent to Michigan State University. All breeding stock must to 'Normal' without medication and results are sent to OFA.

TEMPERAMENT:
All dogs must have the correct temperament for their breed. A Samoyed should be very loving and friendly to everyone. Shyness and aggressiveness is NOT tolerated in the Samoyed. On the other hand, an Akita is very loyal and regal. Very protective of his family and territory, but knows the difference between a threat and non-threat. With either breed, you must breed an outgoing puppy who will be able to adjust to any situation it may encounter without feeling threatened.

One might not think temperament is genetic...it is!


BEAUTY:
Whether you purchase a puppy for show or companionship, I strive to produce Samoyeds and Akitas anyone would be proud to own.
 

What we expect from my buyers is simple: Love, Health, and Commitment to their dogs. We put a tremendous amount of time making sure the puppies get a good start in life, we want to see the same from the owners.

All companion puppies are sold on a Limited Registration and are spayed or neutered before leaving to their new homes.

If you are ready to commit your love and time to a dog for the next 12-14 years, please look around our website.
