| Specifically for their hips |
Sunny| Ruby Valley |
| It's mostly the hip dysphoria I think is the word for German shepherds |
| Gaelic Gladiacres |
| aaaah okie! I might have to do a little more research, just to see exactly what it is that causes the problem. I think it's a separate test from the standard 6-panel but also very common to test for in lots of breeding stock |
| Heartbeat Haven |
| Depends on the breeder. German shepherds are being overbred in a lot of mills. Dedicated, responsible breeders can make very healthy shepherds. Especially since their muzzle isn't squished in |
| Ashcroft Park Stud |
| Maybe, I'm not an expert in it :) All I know is that it makes foals incompatible with life and a good number of popular WB sires have it |
| Gaelic Gladiacres |
| echo - that's exactly our point. regardless of the why, the rule is no asking keep/yeet questions in main chat. just remember it for next time and don't argue when someone reminds you |
| Ruby Valley |
| I think German shepherds are reaching that unhealthy standard too |
| Heartbeat Haven |
| Gladius, For real though! Realistically any breed can become that unhealthy (french bulldogs sadly are reaching it too), but there are some that have reached it visually more than others lol Yeah no, though. I wish more people worked on health rather than "beauty" |
| Gaelic Gladiacres |
| Ash - I know it's most prevalent in WB but doesn't it also appear in other breeds? and specifically is it something to do with how the foal develops in utero? I'm not sure, genuinely curious |
| Ruby Valley |
| I wasn't trying to be snippy. And I ment to keep him for shows. Not selling or freeing him |
| Gaelic Gladiacres |
| echo - the point isn't it was the wrong link it was that you're asking for keep/sell advice which as Min said goes in sales chat. you don't have to be snippy about it |
| Ruby Valley |
| I have heard of WFFS but never looked into it. What specifically does it do? |
