What I"m trying to say is this...If you are breeding correctly and all the testing has been done and if for some reason something arises you elimate it from your breeding program ie...all puppies from that litter, sire and dam and stop producing it. If you have to start over your breeding program then so be it. Most reputable breeders if something has arisen in their breeding program has stopped it and elimated it from their breeding program. I hope that made sense...

Oh, yeah, that makes sense. It's just someone mentioned that they will keep all the dogs in the pedigree away from the pedigree of their future dog.
