The gyp in question hasn't been over bred. The irony is she's has only been bred twice and I've had her since she was 9 weeks. As a pup she had the most beautiful black coat that shined so much she looked slick. When she was around 3 her coat began to present the described problems. So I treated with the thought that I had eliminated it. Then she was bred at the age of 7 and out of a litter of 5, 4 was presented with the condition.

I treated again and waited. We bred he again March of this year under the impression that we cured the condition. She whelped 4 pups 2 buckskins & 2 blacks. My brother in life picked out 1 of the black females. And all was looking good but then the female we kept here started the signs of coat and skin issues. The very next day my bro calls me with ther news that his was going through the same concerns. Now get this the buckskin ones that went in two different directions are unscathed. With her age my plans are to get her bred one last time. And this will be #3 and if all works out, her first and last back to back litters.
