I didn't say it was "ok", I just stated that it's a fact. Personally, I don't agree with it. I think all known medical and identity information about the dog should be provided to the adoptor. Assuming they're not incapacitated in some way, are there reasons I'm not thinking of for a breeder not to provide information to the adoptor of a dog they place? Very possible there are issues I'm not considering... -Sherri V.
