Genetic testing is done by excellent breeders who care about only producing healthy puppies. You will NOT find puppy mills or bybers doing this. To think that they care enough to put that kind of money in preserving the breed is a real Joke.
I, personally, am more comfortable with a breeder who ensures a pup is healthy BEFORE breeding the first time instead of choosing not to "rebreed" an unhealthy dog. Many issues take years to develop, what about the puppies that are born in the meantime.
Just becaue it may not be what the majority does certainly doesn't make it the best or prefered way for the breed. |
