Hi Hector, in uk we can not do bonitation test but we try our best to cover all health aspects with our dogs and use the best we can for breeding, the hip tests are very important, in uk we get scores from 0-64 for each hip, the bitch i bred from in october was 2 left 3 right in europe this would be HD A ,her mother was HD A, although the parents test is good it does not mean all the offspring will be the same but it is a good guild and important, you should also ask for an eye test certificate which should be up to date , within the last year,, we also do the elbows in uk, as with all breeds as they advance the gene pool gets smaller and also certain breeders inbreed a lot, if you look at some dogs bred in France you will see from articles on this site that the dogs lack in substance, charicter and are very shy, when you buy your dog read the breed notes on this site, on temperament learn all you can and i strongly advise a visit to a reputable kennel to see older dogs, you will be made welcome at a summer camp and here you will see the dogs properly what they should look and act like, you can learn lots on rearing your pup and on training, they are such a wonderful and rewarding breed but take your time and make sure you get the right dog or bitch, believe me its worth the time and effort to get the right dog. i am very criticle when it comes to dogs and i see a lot of dogs now in Europe at shows that are nothing like what they should be, i wish you all the best and hope you get your puppy,best regards paul u.k
