Do you know the pedigrees of the
dogs and have studied the ancestry? The list goes
on. If you just want to breed your
dogs for the sake of breeding, whether you are doing it in a barn or your nice home, makes you no better then the person you got this pup,from. Sorry, but those are the facts.
Aside from that, you need to go on the recommendations of the Vet. Do read up on the disease and treatment. If need be, seek a second opinion.
