This is a valid point and it goes directly to the reason the breeder is willing to continue to breed parents proven to produce a genetic defect.
This breed is popular almost exclusively with ladies, even more so with those who have a yearning for a baby to care for. This desire is triggered when introduced to a puppy that "Someone else might not care for properly." That nurturing instinct kicks in and suddenly the prospective buyer is on a mission.
I'm not saying that a puppy with perceived special needs is more attractive but it certainly does put the "pity" card into play, and
if the puppies continue to sell the parents will be bred again.
No breeding should be repeated unless it produced
outstanding puppies.
