Amen! Laura ----- Original Message ----- From: <Pinehillgsds@xxxxxxx> To: <lhavis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>; <showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, September 14, 2009 3:11 PM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: Breeding Laura, I've never seen the point in discussing genetics about "x" dog or "y" dog unless someone was interested in (a) obtaining a puppy from a particular breeding or (b) interested in incorporation a particular dog into their breeding program. In those instances, when I've had questions, I've gone directly to the source (breeders and/or owners), and asked my questions. In other words, I'm not listening to idle chatter about a dog third, fourth or tenth hand. Although there are plenty of folks who love to gossip that way...that info is worth what you paid for it IMO. EVERY pedigree has what I call genetic "bads". The trick is to know what you won't tolerate and what you can live with but want to try like hell not to double up on.
