The health clearances completed on a breeding pair are merely predictors that the puppy will have a low probability for genetic predisposition to developing catastrophic orthopedic or ophthalmologic abnormalities. The scientific perspective for the many possible complex combinations of genes dictates that there cannot be a guarantee against such disorders.
