All are super cute.
I always wonder about genetic abnormalities from inbreeding whenever I see these pure bred dogs.
My daughter lost a dog last year that was 1/2 standard poodle - apparently kidney dysplasia is not uncommon in that breed, meaning that the kidneys do not develop. There was nothing to be done except to put the poor puppy down, she was only seven months old, it was devastating.
I have a shih-tzu/poodle and was wondering why the vet wanted to run a full kidney panel on my puppy, I’d never had a vet do that before with all my previous dogs - found out later that the shih-tzu is also known for kidney dysplasia.
We’ve had kidney issues with a few Plott hounds that we got from another breeder - who turned out to be breeding his dogs too closely. I truly HATE that guy. I wish him ill.
We stopped buying from him and ventured out with our own blood lines for both breeds with fabulous results. :)
