Her dog beat mine by the way for first place. She has posted about her dogs on here in the breeder review section. And just so you know of course she did not breed them and as far as I know, she didn't show that one anymore. |
Amazing, so why was she showing this dog, if it had LS.....what is wrong with some people.....
There are some breeders that attempt to bury their heads in the sand....keep things hush, hush. Now no breeder wants to shout it from the roof tops that their dogs produced genetic problems.....However, if such problems should arise.....the right thing to do is spay/nueter the two......the families of litter siblings should be contacted to let them know. And be there as a breeder.
