It is something that needs to be done and health tests are now available -
at least some are - why not make it a code that reflects what is important to
the HEALTH of the dogs that are being bred? Louise
Exchange of OFA info is in there, refusing service to a poor quality bitch
is in there (I'm paraphrasing), breeding to the standard for the betterment of
the breed is in there. Pretty much covers it for me, but, what tests
specifically would you like Louise?
IMO, despite the occasional ruffled feathers when someone buys a show pro
spect that doesn't turn out to be a star, I don't see a higher than what you'd
expect % of health issues coming from signers of the breeders' code. I DO
however see a LOT of issues from backyard breeders and worse, and they aren't
going to be impacted by any sort of code anyway.
(And I'm hearing of folks running up HUGE vet bills for procedures I've
never even heard of...do these people have more money than sense and do "some"
vets just see them coming???? Seriously, thousands and thousands of
dollars..and
when you talk to them they seem to want a pat on the back and I'm thinking
instead they need a good shake! )
Remember, if a particular breeder hasn't done whatever "test" a purchaser is
looking for, the purchaser can always walk away from an offer...nobody has a
gun to their head.
