Answer
With any dog, REGARDLESS of the breed, bloodlines, health, and temperament should be considered.  Look for a reputable breeder who will be willing to mentor and share information.  There are a number of on-line sites as well as some excellent books related specifically to to the APT.  

Mange MAY clear up by itself (the dog can outgrow it) however ANY dog with mange should be spay or neutered and not be used in any breeding program.
