She was not the breeder of the dog, but she told me her dog and it's two sibling whom she had also purchased had just tested positive for Liver Shunt and were in the research group. 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.
Hi Dee, I have to say I was so shocked to see the changes that are occurring in all the pure breeds and all the health problems that are just being ignored for the sake of a good looking dog. Sadly, I don't believe this is exclusive to the UK I think this film applies here also ......The state of the breeds are suffering so much for the sake of some ribbons. I just couldn't believe that one woman's casual mention of killing healthy pups. Just shameful......
