Good for you. Yes if an owner can be responsible enough to prevent that "oops" litter they can pass on the spay/neuter if they are not wanting the health benefits. However it has been proved time and again the largest part of the population can not be that responsible. I just shake my head when I hear, "We didn't even know she was pregnant." That is why I try very hard to convince people to spay/neuter if they are not planning to show their dogs. Many people do not realize AKC does not mean breeding quality. As for doing the genetic test? I think many so called breeders don't even know it exists.
As for the vet, I feel ya! One time I showed our vet a new "lump' on our dog. It was tiny. The vet asked," WHat, do you go over him with a fine tooth comb?
Your vet won't tell you to Buzz off, they like the money...
