A city
dog that
rarely puts paw to ground probably will never see a case of lyme
disease never mind the deer tic that carries the
disease and a country
dog may never come in contact
with distemper or coronavirus but you better expect them to come in contact at least once
with rabies.
X-linked
diseases are
rarely common, so diligent use of the test combined
with removing
dogs with the mutation from the breeding pool should effectively eliminate the mutation from a breed.
