1) I will produce Bull Terrier puppies only to improve the breed and only
when responsible care can be provided in raising the puppies and they
can be placed in homes also providing responsible care.

heart disease or any other known genetic defect which can be harmful to
the Bull Terrier.

certified to be free of the aforementioned conditions

potential or produced in litters sire by the stud dog.
