So we might be able to say that both sire and dam must carry the recessive to
have it appear?....if indeed hereditary. I agree with Fred that not enough
study has been done on swimmers OR megaesophagus. Until we know how and when
defects are inherited it's pretty hard to breed accordingly. I've asked vets
about the swimmer syndrome and they don't have a concrete answer either.
Sometimes it seems that there is more they DON'T know than what they DO
know. I feel the same way. <BG>
