Hello Pearl, you will find 'Chazlaw' on the stud list I believe Linda lives in the midlands, she has a very handsome boy named 'Thorn'.

Is this for your bitch that has the hernia?

Obviously yes then

I was told once the hernia had been fixed there would be a permanent weakness in her tummy wall and NOT to breed from her, which is another reason I had her spayed.

Is she KC registered ? If yes you must inform the KC if you have any operations done on her even if you do not show her they may consider her puppies are not eligible for registration if she has a hernia correction I know of at least one cavalier bitch in the UK that cannot have her puppies registered because she had a hernia correction operation

I have a 7 year old Tibetan spaniel who developed a hernia at about 3 months, I have never bred from her nor would I every risk it, there is a lot of if's and maybe's, but I would never chance it. Just my opinion,

I have a letter from the kennel club which states if you intend showing your girl you must notify them if the hernia is repaired, but regarding breeding you must take the advise of your vet.

I still didn't breed from my girl, because I felt deep down it shouldn't be done!

Well good for you, there are breeders who get hernias repaired, don't tell the KC, still show AND intend to breed from their dogs!

Jesse, that still does not make it right. To breed from anything with any sort of health problem should be considered very carefully and only undertaken if there is an overwhelming reason for doing so. And I suppose it is up to each breeder to take care that they do not bred a faulty dog unless they have every confidence that the quality of the pups they are producing will be better than could be bred by a healthy bitch. IMO it would have to be a very exceptional bitch to take the risk of allowing her to produce a litter, both for her sake and that of the progeny

Sorry must of missed this one, no you're right it doesn't make it right and just goes to show what lengths people will go to and still see themselves as caring, reputable breeders. I feel sorry for the people who are showing against these dogs that have had 'illegal' procedures carries out and also the fact that a fault is being bred into lines. Makes you wonder what goes through the inds of some so called breeders and what are their real motives for doing it!
