Good news, puppy was checked at nine weeks and got the all clear. The murmur is no longer there and pup is all mine. Picked her up yeaterday and loving her already.

Just thought I would post an update. Pup went to the vet for a check (7.5 weeks) and the vet said the murmur is still there but it has decreased. Hopefully in another 10 days to 2 weeks it will be gone.

I don't plan on breeding the puppy, nor ever suggested that I was going to. The pup is just going to be pet, and hopefully if I get it, it will be around for a long time.

I spoke to the breeder this morning and they are going to take the pup back to the vet at 9/10 weeks and if it still has the murmur they will then take it to a specialits cardiologist (Brad) to have a thorough checking out. So I will just have to wait and see what happens over the coming weeks. Rappie - it's great to see vets on here giving advise

Hello everyone, I have my heart set on getting a puppy and when the pup went in for it's six week check the vet noticed a grade one heart murmur. I'm hesitant to get the pup because it may have ongoing problems. I know that you can have ultrasounds done to check the heart out. So my question is, would the ulstrasound give you enough information so that I would have a fairly clear picture of what is going on with the heart and therefore what care would be needed for the puppy inb the long term. I'm trying to make an informed decision on weather I should go ahead and get the puppy. Also if anyone has any links to other websights that might have info on heart murmurs please pass on. Thanks!!
