Maybe but I am of the thinking that with 200 + breeds and rescues full do we really need to be creating another breed.
It would take decades to establish a breed type and what about pups that were bred and didn't fit the breed type,bearing in mind this could be an awful lot,what happens to those?
The Health issues in the Havanese are:
Eye problems including cataracts
Patellar Luxation ( The patella, or kneecap, is part of the stifle joint (knee). In patellar luxation, the kneecap luxates, or pops out of place )
Some of the health issues seen in the Bichon include,
Skin ailments
Cataracts
Epilepsy
Health issues in the pomeranian include,
Some of the Patellar Luxation ( The patella, or kneecap, is part of the stifle joint (knee). In patellar luxation, the kneecap luxates, or pops out of place )
Problems with the teeth
Entropion (the inversion, or turning inward, of the border of the eyelid against the eyeball)
Health Issues in the Maltese,
Patellar Luxation ( The patella, or kneecap, is part of the stifle joint (knee). In patellar luxation, the kneecap luxates, or pops out of place )
Entropion (the inversion, or turning inward, of the border of the eyelid against the eyeball)
So I wonder what the chances are of passing these conditions on to the pups very very high I would imagine as all four breeds all have some of the same problems.
