DNA health testing

[skip11]

I personally would BUT I would choose a bitch (linebred and performing as well if possible) that's not a carrier or affected (so bitch should be CLEAR for all the genetic diseases). That way if the stud is affected, the offsprings would not be affected but will be carriers only.

I would not sacrifice the future health of the yard for even the best one I've seen. Obviously there are a lot of different factors you could inject into this scenario like is this animal down from my stuff? The ones I have are already affected or carriers? This is a isolated case? I rather not breed to a dog with health issues.
