Pets are so much a part of so many families here in The Villages that this is a huge issue. It makes me rethink any adoption plans we would have for a dog. We had a Himalayan cat once and she was not show quality so she did not have the extreme pugged nose that cause breathing problems. We have friends who have a dachshund with back problems and ones that have a dalmation with back problems.
When you think about it, there is no need for a pedigree for a family pet. I think it would be useful to know the personality of the parents, but not essential.
I don't have a pedigree and Sweetie chose me. So far it is working out great.
Thank you BK for bringing it to our attention. BK? YOU are amazing!
