You also have side-stepped the question of what exact health testing was done. A DNA sample is not a health test, it is a means of identification of each specific dog. Maybe at some point way in a future I won't be alive in a simple DNA test will show, some following conditions, PRA, cataracts, LP, HD, Leggs Perthes, CT, hyperuricosuria, allergies, AAI, Chiari, Elbow Dysplasia, Blueborn Puppy, Cardiomyopathy, Deafness, epilepsy, Von Willenbrands disease, and the list goes on! |
I'm getting a new puppy and Sharon has been going through her breeding records because we're trying to match Nicky's disposition. The dam is retired and we think since dad and grandad have that disposition she will look for calm mom. hmmmm, I still trust her. Yes this is a lifestyle for them as it is for hobby breeders and showdog breeders but I don't see you bashing them. They all sell dogs and if they truly cared they would only have you pay for the shots/spay-neuter/ and health tests right?
I never side-stepped anything. I told you all I knew he had was DNA testing. I didn't find out anything more from his original papers from when I got him. Why are you so up and in my face about this anyway?
