If I am right, has ANYONE ever heard of a dog dying of LS so quickly?
That would scare me more than anything else about the condition, I think. Can you imagine a healthy dog yesterday and a dead one tomorrow??
The BA tests in very young puppies can be less accurate than those done at 6 months or so which is the age that he died....I would like any info anyone has on that dog and his death..
As for spaying and neutering all puppies as has been suggested til the lines are set, seems like overkill to me. Like using a shotgun to kill a fly. If all offspring are S/N then how will different lines be developed if a dog throws LS at some point? I am confused about the reasoning behind this procedure.. |
How else can you control LS to some degree if you don't do that? That's the only way I think we can keep the defect to a minimum.
