I got a private e-mail stating an opinion that mega runs in certain lines....interesting....I have had many many litters, most were working/protection....and I've had it ,say three or four times, but only one puppy in each litter....my last litter 18 months ago, ten pups,... eight dead within 10 weeks...several were diagnosed with myasthenia gravis...up until then I had never heard of this.....the parents of this disaster litter had had offspring before with no problems...never ever would I breed these dogs to each other again, and the bitch I spayed...I was told once that if you breed long enough, you'll almost experience everything!....... ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2010.
