Yep. I was just echoing the same thing you said. You called us snobs, and I personally do not appreciate being considered a snob simply because I prefer purebred dogs
nice to know you and lizmo are the same person. Kinda wierd. But ok. :rofl1:
If you are going to make smart ass comments about me being dumb for trying to understand som'thing...then sure you can be one too. Last time I checked when you ask training questions about things you didn't get, I wasn't a jerk to you for trying to understand. Once again, sorry your having a bad day, nice to see you.
As of May 19, 2009 we have found the mutation present in over 75 breeds as well as mixed breed dogs.
and how does that change what I said about it being prevalent? It doesn't.
Most numbers are from screened dogs. Only because screening centres keep databases. Vets don't report things like this unless they are a part of a study.
as well you have the issue of people bothering to find out. Take cataracts in JRTs. I have met dogs with juvinle cataracts, you would never know from the dog's behaviour that there was anything wrong. Unless you are a breeder, or a breeder has asked you to check.. is JQ Public going to have his dog checked for things that are not obvious?
Dog gets old and infirm, so many pet owners assume this is normal. Could be a genetic disease. But once again unless they test for it, it could be labelled 'old age'
once again thank you for being one of the few people who can help me understand this stuff without jumping on me. It is appreciated.
