If you're being selective about your bloodlines, selective about where your puppies go, honest with your customers about LS and how to look for it, and hold the AKC papers for proof of spay/neuter you're doing plenty. Some of these people on her think BAT solves the problem. They don't get that the test only catches the diseased animals and not the carriers. Forget it, it's like talking to the wall... |
I'm sorry you feel that way about this discussion. People get heated because this controversial, complicated subject. Personally, I am so happy that so many people are reading and giving their opinions. And catching the "diseased animals" (really, you could use a dose of compassion or at least tact) is better than selling them to unsuspecting puppy buyers or other breeders, especially, if your reputation is all that important to you. Also, if pedigree research is your thing, which you stated, identifying the carriers should be very important to you.
