Also, sometimes just a particular combination of a male and female can cause a genetic defect. It doesn't neccesarily mean you should eliminate ALL bloodlines, BUT they should all have proper testing, I would say at least 2 or 3 generations back to be safe. And if I couldn't go that far back I wouldn't chance it. It's just not worth the risk of them having sick babies. I care too much about mine to just let that go. Personally, in her case, the pups look HORRIBLE. I would spay/neuter them all and start over.
