Unfortunately, and to our great sadness, our Russian import Tolstoy has been diagnosed with severe Tricuspid Valve Dysplasia (TVD) and an Atrial Septum Defect (ASD).

After discussing his diagnosis with Cardiologists and Geneticists we have decided to retire him from breeding. We cannot be 100% sure if his illness could be passed on, and we rather stay on the side of caution - breeding only healthy and functional dogs.
