If the owners/breeders of dogs who have bloated wish to post the names and lines(all of them, not just the stud dogs) on the lists then I totally agree with you but not statements based on rumors and 3rd or 4th party hear say.

People are so worried about their reputation instead of the dogs. When I wanna know something about the lines, I have to call a friend to find out if they know anything. If I cant find information, I skip buying or breeding to the dog period. Wyman Kennels www.wymankennel.com **************Know Your Numbers: Get tips and tools to help you improve your credit score.
