Yes thanks, I am well aware of the genetic problems, used to breed Old English Sheepdogs in the UK. Same problem if the dog had 2 blue eyes, wall eyed did not exhibit this. (Have retired now)
The local dog rescue has a cat section & looking one day I found him, he was so friendly & loving I could not resist. Particularly as he had been dumped there by the breeder because of his problems. The Spanish are still very callous towards animals generally.
The biggest problems some breeds - dogs,cats, whatever is inbreeding by amateur people who do not understand genetics.
