Required Comment
Dogs with a heart murmur should not be used for breeding. Only if an ultrasound examination has found the murmur to be due to a non-hereditary defect can the dog be judiciously used for breeding. Breeding dogs should be used for cardio listening, at least informally annually, even after an active breeding career.
