I talk to many breeders to get their opinions about lines or animals. I get generic answers with no actual information. Nobody will name anyone as producing health issues, other than to say some major breeders do it. When someone tells me it's not a good match for a certain dog for my bitch, I have to wonder why, other than health issues as I already know what I want to improve in structure and movement. <br /> <br />Until folks will name names, nothing will change and the rest of us will give up after being burned one too many times by breeders we thought we could trust.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4955077234995938266.post-39330994919901520432010-07-30T14:28:06.340-04:002010-07-30T14:28:06.340-04:00I know what you're saying Bruce.

My mom had the same saying and also used to frequently say that it only takes one bad apple to spoil the entire barrel. I think that applies to your topic. Only one bad apple. In the overall scheme of things it is the GSD that suffers and not the bad apple. Until all those good apples speak up those bad apples will continue to pollute the barrel. Keep up the good work on your blog site.Brucehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00263413130171705126noreply@blogger.com
