What is the purpose of suggesting that a stud dog is impacting our breed in a positive/negative way, without indicating what the pro's/con's are. It appears that someone will mention that a GV/Popular Stud Dog is causing harm, or helping our breed, but the "poster" leaves us guessing as to how. Why name the popular stud dog, Dallas/Lance, yet leave us guessing about who the GV is that's impacting our breed in a negative manner. If your willing to make the suggestion, give us the specifics. I want to know that a given dog is producing bloat when bred to a certain line. I want a better shoulder. ETC.
