Jackie, I don't think you understood my original post. Maybe I didn't say it right. The bitch that was bred didn't HAVE geographic dysplasia. She was a fully CERFed bitch. In her first litter, when bred to another CERFed dog, she produced pups with it. Therefore, we felt that she was most likely a carrier. She was clear. She was CERFed. Neither we, nor her owner would have bred her if she had geographic dysplasia. Myra
