Asymptomatic meaning no one has apparently shown any symptoms of any problems. This case was not my breeding, it was someone else's, so my info is second hand, and based entirely on what each party has admitted to. Since I originally posted this, the dam has died from bloat. The owner and the breeder seemed to have arrived at a truce, adn the breeder reportedly promised the owner he would not breed those two again. But apparently he owner thought that meant at all, and the breeder meant to each other...so when mom was bred again, and a daughter from the sire was bred..the owner felt this was a broken promise, and went after the breeder again :roll: For my personal answer, it would be fine to breed each dog again, and eval puppies. Should either problem show up in either side again, I would remove them (parents and affected dogs) from breeding
