Well if the breeder didn’t tell him that it’s a HUGE problem in my eyes. The silver lining is CMR1 is recessive so it takes two copies to show in dogs. Because this can be passed onto offspring I still wouldn’t breed.
That’s very disappointed if the app is only available for Apple phones, which is the kind of phone I have. I hope it’s available for Android phones as well.
It’s irresponsible and will cause permanent issues with some of the puppies. There are plenty of things that have been done before. Responsible breeders that know what they’re doing would never do this.
Ok I guess my confusion was if I had a visual mearl female, I get a tri color male no visual mearl. But the male has a parent that is a visual mearl. I guess I was thinking that the male puppy would carry mearl and that would lead to bad puppies if I breed my visual mearl puppy to this non visual mearl who might be a carrier of mearl due to one of its parents being a visual mearl . Hope I explained this well.
@Pullem_allchu I understand what you mean. Unlike other phenotypes of DNA, Merle only takes one copy to show visually. Producing two copies of Merle would be certain health issues which can only happen by breeding a visual Merle to a Visual Merle. If your tri doesn’t visually show as Merle, they didn’t get that copy of Merle passed to them so you have no worries as far as health issues and the offspring of your breeding should produce a visual Merle carrying just one copy of Merle.
I did to a family that knew about it up front and had no intentions of breeding. I don’t have dna health issues in my lineup and don’t believe breeding or reproducing with dogs that do.
The dog actually had two genetic defects. It’s definitely to the advantage of people that reproduce dogs with genetic disorders to convince everyone that’s it’s nothing to it. I’m on the side of if it’s testable in the dogs dna that the test is there for a reason. It’s just not a stain I want.
Very informative👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

Great info!

My buddies boy just came back with n/CMR1 😮

@@LaronFrenchies yes his paper said that it doesn’t affect his dog but may be passed on to offspring …
@726scooty correct
Great video too! Thanks
Thank you. Please subscribe for more info!
I appreciate this video so much! I have just entered the world of French bulldog genetics.
I appreciate the feedback. I wish this information was out there when I first started!
Very very informative…may I ask what your first girls defects was that made you sell her to a family
I really appreciate you! If I recall she was positive for both CMR1 (Canine Multifocal Retinopathy Type 1) and DM (Degenerative Myelopathy).
Color my frenchie says not available on my Samsung do o need a specific phone or am I looking it up wrong in the playstore
That’s very disappointed if the app is only available for Apple phones, which is the kind of phone I have. I hope it’s available for Android phones as well.
You actually can breed 2 Merle’s together it’s been done

I thought it was you couldn’t breed a visual mearl to another visual mearl?
That’s 100% true which I explained. Breeding a Merle to another Merle will produce serious health issues in the puppies including blindness.

Thanks for the quick response and info
Hopefully you didn’t sell a dog because it carried Dm

@@LaronFrenchies dm doesn’t apply to the French Bulldog, there’s so much literature on it.
