There is no test for a gene that causes Addisons. We suspect that Addisons is genetic, but we don't know how it is passed down. With this and other auto-immune disorders breeders have to take a "wait and see" approach. Best practices say to remove affected dogs and those closely related to them from a breeding program.
To give Whispering Pines the benefit of the doubt, it could be that the bitch and her offspring were bred before the foundation bitch came down with Addisons. This is why it is risky to breed Standards at a young age. You don't know what might be lurking in the gene pool.
As far as Bijou being conscientious.... ahhh..... that would not be my personal opinion, but you can certainly do a search on this forum and see previous discussions about this breeder.

Ok its not in Enzos pedigree Its in a dog I was looking into for future breeding. She has Ash's-Mystical Mahogany Mist in her pedigree and I found the K-Lar dog was Ash's-Mystical Mahogany Mist half sister or brother.
It would be 5 generation Back to the pups if we do do the breeding.

I already thought about that, but she was bred twice, and the offspring has been bred from, in 2008. Latte was 6 then...There is no test for a gene that causes Addisons.

Lol, Bijou being conscientious? Sorry
And yes, with careful breeding, Addison's could be eliminated, or at least far less common... but alas, I still see people breeding dogs with addisonian littermates, from the parents who have produced addisonian puppies....
Makes me cry
