No, you definitely should not breed a dog that has an umbilical hernia! The puppies can be born w/ these also and can somtimes be very, very large.

My male had one too, the owner told me it was from the mother chewing off the ambilical cord too short. I doubt that this is a condition that can be passed down. I got his fixed at the vet for 140.00
