Question

i recently found out my 11 month old boxer pup has red mange, and i started her serious of dips today. Today i heard that it is caused by stress and it is not a genetic disorder. Does that mean that i can still breed her or should she be spayed?

Answer

She needs to be spayed. This is a genetic trait (weakened immune system) and it is passed to their offspring.

It is aggravated by stress but the underlying cause is genetic.

Let me know if you still have questions.
