LOL....I need to go to bed, my thoughts are getting rambly....one last thing I wanted to say is that if I were breeding, which I plan to be someday, I probably would have the BAT done. But I feel it is only for my peace of mind, not because of a compelling, logical medical reason. Just as someone in one of those high-risk groups might have a diabetes test, without any symptoms or other indications. There's no particularly compelling, logical medical reason to do it....it just makes them feel better.
I guess really the only truly responsible thing to do is to only breed dogs of whose lines you have personal knowledge of for at least 10 generations back. Even that could not ensure 100%. |
