This is an outstanding video!....should be viewed and discussed at the upcoming joint board meeting!.....it's 28 minutes so get comfortable when viewing....the main point from my point of view was genetic diversity is the key to overall breed health!....the video showed a bull dog breeder who decided to take on health issues in his breed. He wanted to breed bull dogs who could deliver litters without c-sections...he also wanted to change tails and face wrinkles thereby decreasing infections prone to those areas on the dog....his breedings have not won the favors of the show judges but he believes in time they will!......saw some show GSDs in the video...not as angulated as our dogs........the film also talked out Dalmatians being cross bred with a type of English pointer to correct something in the breed....the overall health, vigor, and temperament of our breed should trump everything else....you need to watch this video....thanks Stormy...Ed Hill  ----- Original Message ----- From: "Stormy Hope" <stormy435@xxxxxxxxx> To: "GSD List" <showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, January 17, 2012 9:43:40 AM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] A Video- The Kennel Club - Health An interesting video from UK (The Kennel Club) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrWjVFKuAg8&snsû; Stormy ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2011.  All material remains the property of the original author and of GSD Communication, Inc.
