| Re: Noris Vom Grutenblick--questions No, my female is missing 2 teeth, so she DQ'd. Also, she has a brother that is known to have ASA, and when they rebred her parents, the second litter has the same problems. I know also of another male in her litter missing 2 teeth and one missing 1 tooth. They should have waited on the second breeding to see how the first turned out, but sometimes that does not happen.
I personally feel it was just a wrong combination of genes/pedigrees that caused the problems, but don't really know so thought I would research as I could. I heard the tooth issue from several sources, so I do not doubt it, not saying it happens all the time, but it happens and is believed to come from him. Since I purchased from a COE, they took care of the problem, and I spayed her, or they would not have refunded, so that helped. But, still leaves a lot of open doors when one starts to look around and think about a future puppy and what they want. |
