Yeah, that is a rough situation.. I don't know what they do in the dog world, but can you genetic test him to see if there is something going on there?
I know with alpacas, if that happened twice the vets would recommend a castration because we don't need that in our bloodstock being as small as the pool is. . Also completely unrelated, but how do you judge a dogs comformation in shows? |

Yes and yes. There's a written (and graphical) standard about what the dog should look like - from general structure ta the colors of the coat. Also, funnily enough, he just his echo done and it was outstanding. So we at least know it has nothing ta do with the heart.

My blue healer is like that. He does get out enough though due ta how aggressive he is towards the others dogs (the beagles being the exceptions in that).

Thats good!
Do you have to check them for any bad mutations before you start breeding? We do after a male infected a huge herd and none of the offspring can get pregnant and the males produce cria that die of heart conditions |

He is outside nearly all day with the only inside being my room because him and my sisters hound don't really get along. He loves the puppy though. Wakes me up at 3 AM playing with him on my bed x.x |

Yes and no. It preferred, but I've known breeders who (sadly) breed willy-nilly without the proper testing. My family always tests though, even if we don't breed ourselves. The genes for certain coats are also of particular focus during testing because we only accept certain patterns and mixes of color. For examples, harlequins can be show but fawnlequins cannot.

My heeler is getting up there in years, but he refuses ta be in the house. He avoids it like the plague. He quite literally tore up an entire mattress because we left him inside one time. |

Why is that? The fawnlequins are so pretty though :0 Does it have something to do with a white mutation? . We can't show animals if they have blue eyes.. . My lab ate my mother couch :") |
