But like i have said other times to people, I have lost so must disrespect for AKC during the process. i was offered 2x from different stud owners of AKC studs to falsify papers for a fee for me and i refused. i consider myself ethical and respectable for i could LIE and misrepresent my dogs and pups and i am honest about where they come from and find nothing wrong with that. Yes i see where everyone is coming from with all the grandparents, and great grandparent lineage. but i am perfectly fine with what i know about my dogs. i am just surprised that the OP along with friends come up with pups with issues even due to all the history involved in knowing. That that shows me that it really does not matter what the deep lines are for real. i guess i got my answer on this thread |
Yes, and we as humans get to choose whether or not we reproduce knowing that there are genetic traits than can cause our offspring issues.
And the best thing we can do for those such dogs in which carry substandard genes, or of which we know no history of to have them fixed so as to not pass possible genetic diseases that can cause puppies insane amounts of pain during the course of their shortened lifespans.
You're honest about where they come from, but how much exactly do you know about your dogs? So you got the papers on one of your dogs, what about the others? With puppymill dogs its hard to say the puppy millers actually know who the real stud was, or didn't fudge the paperwork to say they were in fact purebred dogs.
The OP and her friends are breeders that study the lines, trying to find that one thing that causes genetic traits to show, there is a lot of work involved in it and they will run into setbacks when something they weren't expecting (a pup with LP coming from perfectly healthy lines) so then they have to find out what happened to cause it. It's not something that one should take up as a hobby using puppy mill dogs that they don't know enough about the backgrounds on.
And what exactly was that? You're always right and everyone that says different is mean? Good luck with that, I hope your puppies actually live long happy healthy lives, and don't wind up suffering from some horribly painful genetic disease passed on from one of your dams or sires that you haven't studied the backgrounds on...
