Pat I remember a recent poster incensed once she found out she had bought an inbred puppy. The vet pointed it out (I believe from her vet check) she went on and on what a bad breeder this person was that she purchased her baby from. Many (uneducated in toy breed) vets are quick to blame the breeder for anything they can and more often than not a puppy has died because of the vet not understanding the special needs of a toy breed than the hands of its breeder.
I have gone through 5 vet clinics since I moved back to portland, I had the best vet in So Cal, when I cried he cried, he called all the time and was truly concerned with any pet that entered his office. I am envious you've finally found your perfect vet. I like mine now but do I love him NOPE, do I trust him, most of the time do I trust his associates NOT AT ALL, does he dote on my babies like my past vet hell no!
For the record I have never inbred or linebred, but I have to say if I felt that I would acheive what I thought was a sound perfect breeding I wouldnt rule it out! I go by the old saying "never say never"
