Well M, I choose to have a total dog also. As long as the Stud OFA's that is okay! I asked the list to think positive about this subject but some just want to battle. To each his own. All aspects of the Shepherd are important, I just have a certain bug about OFA. It's a good Idea to OFA all Stud dogs that Show period. Pam Swanson Chantilly Shepherds Home of Chg.
