More details
We took on a pup at 8 weeks old. I spent 12 months fighting to get him tested, referred and diagnosed.
At the time when taking the dog on I wasnt totally aware on how much an impact genetic diseases would effect a dog.
Our dog lost his life at 15 months old.
We still didnt have a full diagnosis but it was genetics that played a part.
He had a heart issue and he also had neurological issues. By making it a law that all testing must be done. We could stop dogs suffering. And families suffering
