Thanks for the site, I actually have been researching about heart murmurs all day long, The problem I am having is that there is really no way to tell till the puppy is much older 16 weeks-25 weeks is roughly when they will say it is not going to go away.

I am pretty sure she will say no to me about lowering the price due to her having a few puppies in the past with heart murmur's and as she says the owners never called to say they did not go away.

I dont care I will pay full price for her but It would be nice :)

Ok.. Thanks for your help, I am actually more calmed down now. I too am a AVID animal lover so much that it is hard at times lol

Had dogs all my life--but only 1 was a pure-bred--A Sheltie--Simba, best dog I ever had, but passed away from Canacer last yr, he was 9 yrs old! I have 2 pure-bred Siberian cats--and 1 does have a murmur--and I have never contacted the breeder. What are they going to do?? And the cat is fine.

a new puppy is always exciting times!! Can be frustrating too,lol My dog and I are making the trek to SK thgis weekend, 2100 miles of bonding,lol I don't think she is looking forward to it,lol

All one can do is make an educated decison and you have!! Enjoy the puppy!!

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

Stereotype much? Nice job of perpetuating stereotypes with limited anecdotal evidence. I don't think all inconveniences merit a full apology, and as such, I don't issue them unless warranted.

My dog had a grade 4 murmur for about 6 years. It was detected by more than one vet so I doubt it was a misdiagnosis. She had to go into get some surgery to have a couple of teeth removed, and at that time, it had changed to only a grade 2 (and this was checked by 3 vets at that practice).

Even when she had the grade 4 mumrmur we would gor for runs together...sometimes up to 15kms. It never seemed to affect her at all. She just turned 12 in Feb and is still going strong!!

I have rather good news I think... I took my new puppy to My vet yesterday (had to as i have a 5 day health guarentee to see a vet) she looked her over etc and at the ending she said so It says here that she has a grade 2 murmur, I replied yes the vet said that. My vet said I would say It is nervousness as IF I had to rate it I would say it is a grade 1, if it even exists. She said she will check it again in 4 weeks but that she would almost bet that she doesnt have a murmur at that time. SO yay. he he . She is so adorable and has the heart of a lion, damn brave dog and soooo loveable. So Im happy and I think I made a great decision , I wouldnt have it any other way !

I <3 puppies!

I had a German Shepherd when I was in India. We got him when he was only 28 days old.. and it was like a small super duper cute stuffed animal :D. I was so sad when we had to give him away when we were moving to US :-/

My wife is deathly afraid of any kind of pets. She has told me that the only pets we're allowed to have are fish :P

She is adorable! I am so glad you got a better health report from your own vet and I hope that by the time of the next check there won't be a trace of any heart murmur left.

So, what is her name?

I have rather good news I think... I took my new puppy to My vet yesterday (had to as i have a 5 day health guarentee to see a vet) she looked her over etc and at the ending she said so It says here that she has a grade 2 murmur, I replied yes the vet said that.
