thanks for that. I'm in Adelaide Hills. Two wells is quite far. I'll keep researching. Have also asked my vet (via fb)

BAER testing is not a normal service you will have to travel to get in done ,generally only a handful of places do it in each state so your not going to have a great deal of options & the hills to Two wells area isn't that far .

The Uni may offer it  or the dermatology section at a referral vet but i would be comparing prices

I had to fly east to get my dog done so your lucky to have the service available with a drive .

I think it is also worth keeping in mind that, no matter how good a breeder is (or isn't), sometimes sh!t happens and you end up with a less then perfect puppy. That's Mother Nature playing with us. To me, if your pup does turn out deaf, and it's a breed not known for having hearing problems then that's a shame but life goes on. If the pup is deaf because of an untreated ear infection I would be livid and most certainly would want purchase price refunded. IF it could be proved that's what happened of course.

No it is not Noahs crossing at Two wells it is the Adelaide Plains vet clinic, where I would go.

Noahs Crossing is in Lewiston.

I agree, its not the end of the world. Any BAER is the last option. She shows signs that she can hear (or feel vibrations) but also doesn't show signs. I just need to know. 
 

Thank you everyone for all your advice. I quite like this dog/puppy community
