DOC MARTIN 17 Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 During the night my Russell bitch had 7 pups to my Patterdale dog,3 pups had a cleft palate.My Patterdale dog has sired a couple of litters before but only to Patterdale bitches,there has never been any abnormalities before.Could the palate problem be due to the cross or just a genetic disorder?.

stormyboy 1,352 Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 Its Genetic mate. If both parents carry it roughly 50% of pups will have it. 25% will not have it but will carry the gene and 25% will not. If only one parent carries it, no pups will have it but 50% will carry the gene. 2 Quote Link to post
