Hi all
We got Toby (Fullburke Darkwings) when he was 5mts old so never met his breeder. Ive done a Google search for them but to no avail. His parents are as such
Sire: Whillanbeck Ryan
Dam: Blessings of Nature
He was born on the 24th Oct 05
If anyone has any info I would be very pleased to hear from them.....
there are some whillanbeck dogs in denmark, one is after dargdaffin dynamo, may be you get in contact over the whillanbeck breeder, or the
owner of the sire?

Hi James
Have just picked up on your old posting, and thought you might be interested to know that we owned what would have been a litter brother to your dog we believe.
Dillon was sadly PTS at a very young age as he had severe OCD in his stifle. Dillon's story and some photos are on the lab-health website.
I will try and find Dillon's papers soon, he had the same DOB and was from the same breeder so I suspect they are related, but reading your posting and seeing the piccies has set the tears flowing again.

Hi Viki
Really sorry to hear about Dillon It must be awful to lose him just after you've got to know him. Thanks for the post. I only really visit here every now and then, so it was just by chance that I came across my old thread.
Toby is very energetic and stands up, jumps and runs with no problems at all. The vet has given him a good bill of health with regard to his hips/joints etc. I took the precaution of keeping him away from stairs and just light exercise until a few months ago.
His Dam's hip score was 4/4 BTW, which is pretty low I think, is this related to OCD?

OCD more frequently occurs in the elbows but can affect the hock, shoulder or knee joint also,
the hip scores are done to check the level of Hip Dysplacia in any 1 dog, so a score of 4:4 would be a very acceptable scoring

I'm not sure that anyone could "blame" a breeder for a dog developing OCD of the stifle (knee) joint though, it is not an area currently recommended for screening and unless the breeders bitch/stud dog was noticebly suffering, they may not have realised that may have been a problem in that area, but would have been stupid and selfish to breed if they did know
