 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...

got that right     Both pedigree research and testing is important!
