Yes and thats why I would not start with a stud that already has a bad fault. Why incorporate that into your breeding program? Its hard to believe that a reputable breeder would say go ahead and use him as a stud, but the same thing happened to me from a reputable YTcA breeder/exhibitor. Once you breed a fault in, its very hard to breed it out without starting with all new lines.
