The Vet said it is hereditary. Should I tell the breeder that her breeding lines may have a problem? I was so devastated for the little guy. Sonja  |
Yes you should tell the breeder. The breeders response will tell you if they are reputable or not. Sire and dam should not be kept in the breeding program.
