Confused Liver shunt questions ??

Okay, I am confused. I thought I knew a little about this terrible disease. My question is as follows and I hope some of you can clear this up for me.

If you know that a puppy died from livershunt.

1.) Both parents tested negitive for liver shunt. So is it the combination of both parents genetics that produced the puppy to have the livershunt??

2.) Then would you just never breed them to together so that the liver shunt is not reproduced?

3.) Or should both of them parents be spay and neutered and never used again?


I understand genetics, not a master by any means, but I was hoping to find out the answer why a female and male are still being breed when a puppy died from this disease? If maybe I have missed something understanding liver shunt. Please help!!
