I had mega and would breed the female again to definately a different male. If she produced it again I would not breed her again. With unfortunately all the health issues out there, a wise friend of mine told me you have to pick your posion with the health issues, Mega to me I would rather have as my posion because the only person who cries and mourns the puppy is me and its something my pet buyers do not have to go through. Mega is caught early as soon as they start eating solid food. Bloat, toxic gut etc. that is something that comes up at any time and unfortunately our pet people and or show buyers have to experience that loss. It is true that mega takes two carriers to produce usually, however it only takes one parent if one of the parents is affected with or without symtoms.
