The problem is that most "genetic time bombs" poorly bred dogs carry don't have markers that show up in blood tests. My Lady is a poorly bred rescue and had both epilepsy and diabetes. Neither one can be screened for. She was perfectly healthy for the first 4 years of her life until her genetics caught up with her.
Thank you for your advise... Its scary to know how one bad breeder can ruin so many lives of poor animals and their human parents...
