On the other two linked threads about mistibleu there was some positive feedback but one person in particular posted on both threads (I think same wording/same day) that she had received a pup with LCP which of course is a very serious health issue. From what I have read, although they beleive LCP to be a genetic issue and of course do not recommend breeding any dog who has shown up with this (  ) I beleive it doesn't have as clear a pattern of genetic presedence as some other health issues do and will 'pop up' in a litter where all parentage and offspring has previously been healthy ***disclaimer: I am not a geneticist or veterinarian and have just read online and in books so I might just be wrong or confused, please feel free to correct me if you have more information on this subject as I find it fascinating to learn about*** |
I thought LCP was genetic?
