So am I right, this breeder despite a reputation of high standing has had this issue in at least one pup before and is still breeding the parents? 
Is this situation not unusual?
Is the issue so rare not breeding is not an issue? |
Yes, inguinal hernias are a congenital disorder, and the breeder told me on the phone, that her health guarantee covers genetic health issues for one year....so, I'm with you, confused about her train of thought.
I don't know if she had ever produced any other puppies with inguinal hernias, but I researched and read, that once your produce a puppy with inguinal hernias, you shouldn't breed the Dam again.
