<< This is really not too different from breeding a dog with excessive ticking (whatever), but other good traits. I would be VERY careful who I bred her to--making certain that not only the stud dog, but his line also tends to be mostly free of ticking (whatever). I then add her and close relatives to the HD equation because HD is a potentially painful, possibly debilitating defect--nothing like a simple ticking or other aesthetic fault >>
Laura, How can you compare the two? One is completely cosmetic with no associated health problems. HD is potentially disabling and painful. How would you justify breeding a dog with HD with being on the Premier site?
