Genetic tests will tell you more about the likelihood of issues, but will still not give you an 100% yes or no answer. The test results should lay out chances of an issue fairly clearly. So I'd recommend researching the disease and thinking about if you want to take on this pup if he might have it, while you wait for results. I hope you get good news!
