If you go back and read your first post your comment did sound like it is a simple thing.
All i wanted was to put it clear out there that it is not.
Many people read these posts not only the Ytalkers actually.
I met a BYB once that had 14 "breeders" so she said, one male had an open fontanel the size of a quarter and produced many puppies with his "lovelly " tiny size and same "trait"... of open fontanels.
maybe that is why i had to post in here. A naive person can read and think that an open fontanel is ok... perhaps a BYB like the lady i met would even attempt to breed it.
This has been about 6 years ago and i did try my best to educate this lady who ended up admitting to produce puppies with legg Perthes , "loose knees" Hydrocephalus, and collapsed trachea's. Of course she had her own nick names for these "simple things" ... No one ever took the time to educate her. we exchanged e-mails for years, she went to the university on her town and met with a veterinarian geneticist teacher that helped her a lot ... she fixed some of her dogs but not all.
Well, i tried my best ! I have not heard from her for about a couple years now.
That is all i was trying to pass.... somethings we hope for the best, but do not always have the best turn.
Glad to know your baby is fine though ! I really am !
