No offense, but animals such as you described, should be culled, at least from reproduction. As you said, you have no idea whether its genetic or not, then you breed them and normal non visibles resulted, so what happens to those who received those "possible hets" from you? You become the irresponsible breeder.



Please understand, without normal phenotypic pressures, natural culling cannot occur. ITs up to you the breeder to make sure "deleterious" genetics are not passed on.



Simply put, its your task to find out if its a medical problem, or a genetic one. If you do not know, its your responsibility to take action and cull that line. In a traditional sense or otherwise. I hope you did. Thanks
