It's worth noting that Andrea Noel, Snoel Poms, who wrote the other comments about this dog, was charged with animal cruelty in late 2013 for allowing 3 of her dogs to starve to death in her basement. This is a matter of public record and can be found on Google. So, I would take whatever she has to say with a grain of salt.

This dog had serious health issues.  One of his health issues was Alopecia X or BSD.  

He was represented as having a 0/1 patellas.  At his health check-up, his patellas were both graded as 3's.  His teeth were rotting out of his head.  He was 22 months old at the time of sale.  

I used this dog BEFORE I knew that he was BSD AFFECTED.  I bought him because he was represented as coming from a BSD FREE sire.  I paid $20,000 CASH for this dog.  I invested another $15,000 into the dog before his BSD diagnosis about 4 months after his sale. His high price was justified by the breeder because of his BSD FREE status.  Sadly, I was lied to about the BSD in his pedigree. His breeder said, a few months after sale, that his sire also had BSD and had bad patellas.  Is it true?  I only know what his breeder told me.  Was she telling the truth?  I have no idea.  

I bred to the dog before he was diagnosed with BSD.  I had one puppy from him.  His only son was placed as a pet and was neutered.  I knew that the BSD in "Apple" would end with me.  I turned down many requests for stud service.  I would NEVER KNOWINGLY use a BSD AFFECTED dog or a KNOWN CARRIER for breeding.

This dog had three daughters conceived BEFORE I purchased him.  One daughter has LIVER SHUNT and will never be bred.  One daughter was bred but never conceived.  The final daughter has, sadly, conceived.  I am not the owner of any of these daughters.

I, personally, would never purchase any dog that had this dog in his pedigree.  That is my opinion. What other people do, however, is up to them.

I wanted people to know what my experience with this dog was.  I will always love "Apple".  He was a complete sweetheart of a dog from the inside out.  

I am the owner of BISS Ch. Chriscendo Central Park.  "Apple" was the most adorable dog with a delightful and loving personality. Sadly, he was diagnosed with Alopecia X (or Black Skin Disease A.K.A. BSD) within 4 months of my purchasing him.

I had already bred to the dog before I knew that he had BSD.  There was one male puppy.  This puppy was neutered and placed as a pet with friends.  The BSD cycle was ended when I purchase this dog. This dog was never used for breeding after his diagnosis.  

Sadly, he was used by other people for breeding before I owned him.
