i dont see a link for field operations.with the high instance of the walker breed being # 16 of all breeds i am curious to the total number of dogs affected .looking at the pedigree of my walker every breeding pair that shows on the top and bottom of her pedigree are on the .uk.c . top historical list or has litter mate to a dog on the list . so with autoimmune lymphatic thyroidisis being 80% to 90% genetic predisposed under your own breeders code of ethics should breeders be required to test before breeding pairs to protect the breeds health and shield buyers of pups and enter them in a data base . from 2003 to 2018 the treeing walker breeds ranking moved from # 18 to #16 on m.s.u. list of breeds .breeders have used pedigree study for years to remove and breed away from harmfull traits in breeding stock . i have included penny UKC # w397,016 for your study .looking at her pedigree i would say it would be near impossible to raise a litter of walker pups meeting the u.k.c. breeders code of ethics for health .
