It gives me somewhat peace of mind. I guess some breeders find that hard to understand. What you are seeing BTCA members doing is working with modern science to help head off any potential disease that may or may not be there. No good breeder wants to intentionally hurt a customer by selling them a new breed that has potential health problems. I have read over and over again of heart broken families that put out thousands of dollars to save something they love dearly. We as a club are just trying to do the best that modern science is allowing us to do. And, fortunately enough, we were able to find just the right lab that will do it for us.

I am sorry this may seem confusing to others but it just shows how serious the members of the BTCA are in producing healthy Biewer Terriers. I was not surprised to see this post as we are constantly being attacked all the time. I just wish we could be left alone and do what we do best, by continuing to produce healthy stock for loving pet homes.
