You also said that your male had been used in a previous breeding. Since your male is now known to be a carrier, the pups in the FIRST breeding will have a 50% chance of inheriting the bad gene from him, so they should not be used for breeding, either. Whoever ended up with those pups needs to know so that they do not breed them and risk passing on this gene. |
Ok! gotcha!! I know where both pups are, and the female is already spayed...the male is just a family pet but I will let them know! And we wont be breeeding mine again!! Makes me wonder how many dogs carry this gene and no one ever knows!!
