The serious stuff like liver shunt and fatal problems do crop up. I have had liver shunt as recent as 12 yrs ago....no Legg Calve Perthes as yet.
..a few with bad legs, but at adulthood it was barely noticable, so never put one down. A few disemboweled, a few with brain damage, but it has been minor and they have done well as pets.
I recently talked with a breeder who got a puppy with one good eye, other is unformed...so far that has escaped me.
I had stud service for many years..that adds lots of strange things that can pop up that I had not seen in my own..so if you have not gotten it in 2o yrs, you have most likely known another breeder who has.... |
I have seen afriend of mine robin's pups have had cliff paletes is this inhareted? I have had some under bites in the past is this too inhareited? as for the others I ahve been I guess really lucky.
