Okay so than the next logical question would be (I really hate to ask this one) what do we do with the pups that test positive though they show no symptoms of LS whatsoever? While we wait for them to figure out what is causing this do we just stop breeding? If it is as prolific as they are making it sound and a bitch and stud that is free of LS can produce a LS pup and all including siblings should no longer be bred that would elliminate your breeding stock in a short amount of time and I can't show a dog that has been altered. It's almost as scary as someone saying if your dog has at least a grade 1 Lp it should not be sold or bred. We would be truly hard pressed to find a yorkie to breed or show because the problem of LP is so prolific in this breed. Maybe I should switch to miniature schnauzers, they're awfully cute.
