But serious health issues the whole litter should be spayed and neutered. I would only spay or neuter the affected parent if I knew for sure which one produced it but if I didn't know which one produced it both parents would be spayed and neutered and taken out of my breeding program. Again, I can't speak for other breeders but in my opinion that is what should be done.

That sounds sensible to me Donna. There is sooooooooo much to learn about the genetic thing. But it is great to have some knowlege on it. Thanks.
