But if you know your lines and you are trying to do the right thing then you shouldn't have anything to worry. It's those that get defensive about the topic that makes me go hmmmmm.....those that ask more questions and wants to know the reason behind someone's belief and why they do it WITHOUT GETING DEFENSIVE is the person that really wants to learn and understand. I don't get defensive when my breeding ethics or program are questioned because I feel confident in what I do. I am passionate but it shouldn't put anyone on the offensive just because I do things my way and others do it their way. JMHO...

yes...my breeder got VERY defensive and after some research...I found out a ton of things. She even contacted friends of mine with defensive talk and saying not nice things about me. She doesn't want to own up to the fact that my dog's problem is genetic although ls experts says it is.
Now...I know someone else who tested her dogs...their bile acids are high. No symptoms. Only tested to be on the safe side because dogs came from same place as mine. So, don't just go by signs because my dog and these two others had none.
