So, say a problem crops up 1 time in your breeding program...what would you deem an ethical move by the breeder? Should the breeder scrap all brood stock even remotely related to said problem child? Or just the full littermates? sire and dam? I am sure we all want to be ethical and I would like to hear what a new comer would like to see us breeders do.
