Thanks........I guess it isnt the end of the world
When I put both my hands out and weigh this condition in one and liver shunt or heart problems etc in the other.......it certainly doesnt seem so bad.
It can be fixed and the baby should be fine.
I have a half sister to my stud who had a litter of pups who was bred to a different stud and no hernias appeared.
I do have another stud but he is only allowed to bred AKC and I have a few CKC dogs.
Is it responsible to use ( very limited time) my stud who passed this defect as long as I make sure puppies are not used for breeding (pets only) and if the defect popped up again I correct the problem and let the puppy owner know. Or is this irresponsible?
The reason I ask is it will take a while until I have a mature boy ready.
