Personally, I think Steven reference to Contezza's brother wasn't meant to malign him, but to address the breeding. I don't have any inside info, just what we are all reading here. Put yourself on his shoes and understand his pain and disappointment. I get it, I am dealing with the exact same problem, with a different breed. This is bad for everyone, owners, breeders and more than anyone, Contezza. So, what's the take away message? Full disclosure, better health testing, awareness and accountability. We acknowledge things happen. How we deal with those will move us and our dogs forward or backward.
