This is a really interesting subject. Fortunately, knock on wood, I have not had a cancer problem in my lines, but if I did I really don't know what I would do about further breedings. If the dog was so outstanding I might collect him and use his sperm in the future, but it would have to be a dog that was so near perfect that it would be worth the risk. And I would not offer his sperm to others. I would only use it on my own bitches with a very controlled placing of the puppies until I could determine this was not an hereditary thing.

I do know of several breeders who have bred their stud dogs after discovering cancer, but it is really a tough decision.
