There are good Biewer breeders that have not produced seizures, just because you have don't make a blanket statement like that. Thats EXACTLY the problem with misinformation out there, its not backed up by factual documentation, its opinion and foolish people see it and assume its fact because they read it on a forum, ridiculous. Cavalier King Charles have Syringo running through the lines, Dalmations deafness, Westies have cushings, should they also be bred with other breeds in their foundation to help the breed?? Obsurd. |
By documented, I mean someone specifically called us, or told us that their dog had a seizure and we traced the pedigrees and found specific links to specific dogs. I would not call that hearsay.
