From: "Nancy Harper Mulvaney " <nancy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: DJD?? Date: Mon, 21 Jul 2014 13:11:54 -0400 This is all so confusing. I don't understand how a dog can be pronounced as having DJD and then after several years & re-x-raying there is no trace of Degeneration - this is really a shame because there may be stud dogs and bitches that are never used due to this diagnosis that could have been Dominate for some of the physical attributes needed in the breed. Also there are select dogs and bitches that are eliminated from the AOE award that Have everything else to quality. Nancy Harper Getting the digest so I had to copy and paste what was said. I would have asked had I talked to him after this digest came but it was before. Very confusing and probably a lot of babies thrown out with the bath water.
