And this right here is why these dogs should not be bred anymore, it says something if an animal has become such a mutant that it cant even deliver its young itself, its sick, immoral and unethical to continue to breed this way. I suppose the same could be said with the desert gene, if its at the point where they have to have surgery to get eggs. Now I don't necessarily know about that, all I know is what is continually spread that they are all infertile or eggbound, whether thats true or not, I do not know.
