Since it's recessive, and BOTH parents have to carry the gene for it to occur, I'd say it's not a HUGE issue. Yeah, it's bad when it happens. You can't control everything, though. A VERY well respected repro vet who is well known doesn't feel that these dogs should be pulled from breeding. So it's actually not my opinion, I'm sharing his.
