Since the incidence of LS in Yorkies in increasing, the "been there done that" breeders have not been able to control this problem and if things continue in the same way, I don't believe that LS is going to miraculously disappear. Here we have someone who has made it her life's work trying to help and people look for ways to disregard what she has found for us. She goes out of her way to help breeders, rather than blame them for the problem. I wonder if she gets disgusted -- She has many LS dogs living on her premises. |
I agree!!!! I have studied LS for my own breeding program and going to start with the other genetic health issues within our breed. I hope Dr. Center and Dr. Tobias get continued support in their research and find that genetic marker! I'm sure it's hard and frustrating for her to have LS babies!
