Re: [pyrnet] dwarfs

["ARIEGE" <ARIEGE@xtra.co.nz>]

The owners of this Mal know very little simply because the other Breeders
are in denial and this has never happened to them . Not enough time at a dog
show to go into all the finer points but yes she has had "some"  testing and
this is the information I hope to have copies of soon. The owners do not
know "absolutely everything" nor do the Vets here re the testing.  In a
country where problems like this are more common  and people are open about
it then there would be a better chance of knowledge. The owner/breeder
welcomes as much info as possible and I will pass on what I am able to from
the Lists and websites to her.  That info should hopefully give  further
insight into what the problem really may be along with more tests.
