Trying to weed out allergies

Does anybody know the heriditary tendency of allergies? My bitch showed signs of allergies (licking feet) after her 2nd litter. I ended up never breeding her again. Her daughter has no signs, so does this mean the daughter will not pass on allergies? So hard to find the perfect bitch..

Re: Trying to weed out allergies

No, it doesn't mean the daughter won't pass on allergies. Allergies are nearly impossible to eradicate. Everyone has their own definition of allergies and I think we will find that all dogs have some type of allergy to somethign. Whether they exhibit symptoms or not is another thing.
