FIRST.....how do you find out about siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, gr.sons,
gr.
dams, gr. parents on one side and all their litters and litter mates, neices,
etc.????
How do you know some weren't lost early and there are no records???
While you're researching Mega.....are you also eliminating Elbow/ hip problems,
any
chance of epilepsy if the dog is under 3 yrs....pancreatic problems, bloat
problems,
( all of which are a painful problem because they show up later when placed in
homes )
what about missing teeth or poor temperament .... or just plain poor quality
not worth
breeding your bitch to, but "cleared" of Mega for 5 generations....if thats
possible.....
And WHY would we want 5 generations of no common relatives unless the quality
and health issues were so bad we had to get away from it????
If they both carry the same gene for something.......you'll still get it in the
pups.
So many questions............so little time.............sigh........I have no
answer....
