Dad comes from a long line of Champions, and was tested. I paid the breeder for this. He tested clear at the time, but maybe something could have changed in the past year? I doubt that's possible, since it seems to be a genetic issue.
This was to be their first, and only litter together, so I doubt we could have known ahead of time. However it won't be happening again. She was our only breeding female, and we've only ever had one breeding pair at a time.

When you mentioned tested, tested for what? It is not as far as I know common practice to test genetically for the Dd gene.
