I really don't know, nor do I care because i know that as i researched some of the best lines out there, I found things that have happened in the past. only one or two instances made me shy away from the line as a whole. My opinion is that any breeder with any line can have misfortune to happen. it is how well that handle that, what they do to correct the problem, that makes the difference. oh, BTW, i think this little girl I just bought has some Durrer but it is waaaaaaaaay back somewhere. |
As I said in the past. Sire and Dam contribute 50% of the genes, Grandsire's 25%, only the first 3 generations are major contributors, unless a certain dog appears several times within a pedigree it contributes nothing......
