Default clefts

This is an individual decision each breeder must make for themselves. I have had clefts..and all are put down. I have never had one do well..they fail, lose weight, cry..so I do not try any longer. Of all the breeders I know who get them, only a rare few thrive long enough to go through surgery to correct it.
Do you know my vet said all animals produce clefts in about 2% of the off spring. Some are stillborn, others died right after birth, some linger and a few can be corrected...JMO..and best wishes
