Re: Doggie DNA test reveals mutts’ canine heritage
I for one would love to applaud you Tink for doing such reasearch on genetic problems with your dogs, you truly work to improve the breed you have selected to raise, and by testing you are doing your part to help eradicate some inherited diseases that some breeders do not seem to worry about. When I breed dalmatians, I had each pup checked for hearing problems, and each parent checked for any hip problems and any other problem associated with that breed. Paid 400 bucks for a really pretty liver bitch once, only to have her spayed because of potential health issues. She made a wonderful pet though, had to be put down at a fairly early age of 9 due to hip problems,, but no pups were ever whelped by her that would have had those problems too in the future.
Kudo's again,,,,,, and btw,, what breed of dog do you have?????? Just curiouse. We have collies now ourselves.
