Also as he has no papers it is only your word that he has all relevant tests done as results cannot be put on KC Papers if you not got none  A full health check does not mean much in the Dog Breeding world, having "no apparent genetic problem" does not mean to say he is not a carrier of something |
as i have already said... the dogs were left to my boyfriend when an elderly women went to hospital- she then died.
i have never known a pedigree dog breeder to genetically screen an animal for all the possible genetic problems in order to breed, its all about the money to them.
if you want to argue this further, as i am studying genetics in my degree, i have come across noguidelines in the breeding standards which are known to me, that states that in order for as dog to be used for breeding it has all genetic faults checked for. I am not against breeding dogs to create a specific temperament or dog use, however at the moment most dog species are sooo inbred at the moment their genetics have increased homozygosity simply means that more diseases are going to be seen more often as a result of not all, breeding standards and practices.
