Would you breed a dog with... - Page 2

NO.  Almost 20 years ago my best SAR partner (GSD) started developing ear infections due to allergies. She always had a normal coat & never scratched, but would show through by ear infections. She was an awesome worker, healthy in every other way, nice structure. 
I was told by vet's & other breeders it wasn't genetic. She had 2 litters with 2 different studs. Both studs had no known allergies of any kind. Yet both litters had 1-2 puppies with allergies, that were worst than the dam's. They had the skin & digestive issues plus ear infections. She was never bred again, nor any of her offspring.

Now I watch for any sign of allergies / digestive issues, etc.. 
One dog I imported came with an ear infection. I treated the infection & altered the dog. Also did the same with dogs imported showing digestive issues / allergies. I would rather deal with something like HD you have surgery & the dog is fine afterwards with a long healthy life. But allergies is a chronic issue that gets progressively worst with age. Like someone else said the owners & dogs both suffer.

No allergies dogs whatsoever!

It runs in the family, and I've had lines of dogs coming to the vets office all with severe allergy.

And then again, you can have one allergy dog out of allergy free dogs.

But it's unethical in my mind to breed a dog like that.

They can get so sick and so uncomfortable, it's just not worth it.

nope and nope

I've never heard of Discoid Lupus, I wonder if thats what my first GSD had?  She had major problems with her nose, a small amount of pigment loss around her nostrils and constant cracking and infections.  Our vets never could find anything to treat it well, they guessed maybe allergies or fungal infection or (insert guess here) but never a real diagnosis. 
My first GSD also had mild HD in one hip, some digestive issues, skin allergy issues and occassionally ear infections.  Putting her on a limited diet helped some, but none of the issues ever totally went away.  Because of these health issues she was spayed and never bred. 
In my experience, dogs with allergies often have other health issues too.  My first GSD most definently had a compromised immune system. 
Fortunately none of my other GSDs have had any health issues except for a few non-recurring hot spots.  

I would not breed a dog with known allergies or allergy-like symptoms, I also believe that it points to a compromised immune system that may be genetic. 

"it can be managed quite well". Sorry but I totally disagree. I had a dog with lupus and the treatment was meds to supress the immune system. I dont know about you, but this doesnt manage the disease well. If the disease doesnt kill the dog, the meds do. He spent years in pain with the nose leather cracking and bleeding.

I have a dog diagnosed with SLE, and two previously with significant allergy issues. Not issues I would want passed along to any dog or owner. But I have seen a dog do beautifully until sold to someone who fed kibble. And one who did beautifully until moved to a different state. Makes me wonder how many allergy dogs are out there.... not yet showing allergies.
