I don't want to Partake in the Exact Breed Warden as they do in Germany..THIS is the USA.   We could be the ones that would and should develope the Wardens Guidlines for the SIMPLE REASON WE MUST PUT A STOP TO BYB. Legislations would be down if there weren't so many dogs raised by Puppy Mills and BYB. Legislation that is ultimately going to hurt US the SHOW people.   My friend flew out of OK couple weeks ago. She took her show dog to the airport to fly home. She was Appalled by the number of crates FULL of Puppys flying out...to pet shops all around the country. She was also told by the Airline attendant that this was a "Light" day. Somedays they were full to the max... ugh...I'm done with this..I have dogs to take care of...again...and again....and again....Stand in my shoes and Rescue dogs every month, then come tell me we are doing things RIGHT!

Re: ..Most Show People Tari - unless things have changed an awful lot, Breed Wardens do a lot more than test dogs.............for one thing, they will come to evaluate litters very soon after birth...and tell you how many of the puppies you will be allowed to raise, and how many must be put down. There is a Norfolk Terrier breeder who lives in the PNW now (I think)...but she is from Germany, and while studying to become a veterinarian, she worked as a breed warden for the terrier group. Some of the things she told us were horrible to us...but not to her..............  Peggy  Tari Kridler wrote:  >Kathy is Right, I wrote that.� I do not want someone telling me WHO to breed >to.. that part of the Breed wardens I don't agree with...and I don't think >they do that presently...they test the dogs to be sure they have correctness >of temperament, correctness of structure, and correctness of health (OFA's >etc.)� WHY is that a problem?� >I don't know about you, but I AM SICK of >seeing SPOOKS pass the temperament test in the middle of the ring,then when I >see them outside the Ring you can't get your hand on them.� You try breeding >to these dogs and you produce pups that freak out if you drop a food >pan....COME on...
