Let's me say this again, I don't breed to fulfill a pet market. And again, I only have to answer to my Maker, myself and clients. So, I'll not answer to what I do on a public forum. But, for those that know me, know what I'm about.
It's sad that what you put forth as information is not the norm. So, you are only encouraging BYBers in their quest for a quick fix into the breeding arena.
By the way I was an RN. And will offer that, I did study genetics....It was one of the many things my mentor required of me before allowing me to have one of her dogs. And yes, she's had dogs in Westminster too. Some of the top winning dogs. Oh! In answer to your question, no I haven't produced a dog with disease or afflictionn, that's the benefit of starting with a good foundation.
