Hello and welcome to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Short answer, No. We should avoid breeding any potentially congenital conditions. Since there is a lot we don't know about auto-immune disorders, and how they are related to one another, we ideally would not be breeding any dogs with any form of auto-immune diseases. Best of luck with Max!
