I am so SORRY that I suggested Spike's owner go ahead and breed him!!! As soon as I could get myself untied from this post and stomp the bonfire underneath me out, I realized that I had made a dreadful mistake.
And, that even suggesting that Spike have a zillion tests run on himself and a unsuspecting surrogate female resulting in a 100% clean Bill of Health, I have now realized there is no doubt a remissive gene lurking in him that would skip his generation and yet leap forward to cause misery to thousands of future generations.
I now fully realize that without the ever precious AKC Registration, proving beyond a doubt his linage is without flaw, that little "no papers, no past" Spike should NEVER, NEVER, NEVER be a party to a controlled, in home breeding.
I want to thank the thousands of responsible Breeders out there who only sell AKC papered and flawless purebreds, Puppy Mills not included. And, I sincerely apologize to those responsible Breeders whom I unintentionally inflamed with my totally uninformed, uneducated, and ignorant suggestion.
