FacebooK!!!
Sorry Pam, Facebook scares the hell out of me, don't understand it at all.
Do you think it is worth getting an 8 year old dog tested? He hasn't produced any dwarfs as yet to a mixture of all german lines, english and german and all english lines. Think I need help to overcome my fear of facebook. I keep being asked to be friends with people!!!! Speak soon Chris

Hi Chris, probably not as you will be retiring him soon I guess, or will you use him for a few more years.
Most pups that would be dwarfs die in the womb and reabsorbed or becoming fading pups and die before the condition is noticable.

I'm quite interested in this thread as a vet that has seen Clay called him a 'dwarf'. I missed the reference (it was hubs who relayed it to me later) so never asked for any info. I will check the link when have more time as never heard of it before then and not really found much info.
