"I can't imagine a breeder of any breed, especially those getting into Biewers not spaying and neutering the pups for several generations to make their lines are sound and ensure LS and other issues are not prevalint before selling to others for breeding."
To clarify my post I was responding to this statement about s/n the pups and I interpreted that to mean ALL puppies for several generations. Whether one or both parents had ever thrown LS puppies was not an issue in this statement IMO..I read this to mean that the breeder should not keep a puppy or two back and have the option to breed one or both if they choose when all test neg for LS or other genetic conditions. It simply appeared that all puppies were to be altered and I do not understand that reasoning. I do agree that great care must be taken before any puppies are selected to sell to others for any purpose.
Am I mis-reading what the poster meant to say? |
