@BobStuart do you know about genetics and diseases inheritance? Carriers? COI? Etc?
Just because the dog has lived long or looks healthy does not mean they canāt pass on health issues, that might not even appear in the first few generations. Not testing is how health issues become more and more common, it is even important in mixed breed dogs. Many disease can only be found either through a very specific test or by genetic tests (not wisdom panel or embark), some health issues can only be decreased in the breed by careful planning and studying of the pedigrees
have you researched the heritability of the cancer of your one dog? Just because the one you want to breed doesnāt have it does not mean that something is not being passed down through the generations
unfortunately having dogs since you are young doesnāt mean much and doesnāt really matter because of how quickly information is changing, unless you continue to research and keep up with the new information
there are all ready far to many badly structured, unhealth tested, temperamentally unsound, mutts that have no purpose and they are mostly the ones who end up suffering (dumped, irresponsible owner, abusive owner, neglected, have health issues,etc)
and what are you going to do if there is a complication in the pregnancy?just hope nothing goes wrong or they are lucky?
