I read the subject line to this post as Blood Draw at the national. After all the excitement on this list, I thought I bet there will be :0) The Pity Party People and probably going to be the safe group this year. Do you good folks have your T shirts ready? That truly was a fun year!! I will be at the national this year and if I can figure out a way to post pictures of some of the action I will try.

It may just be that I have practiced law too long and had to bring too many suits to stop information from being misused. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Huh? Would you like your dog's blood drawn and analyzed in closed session then? ; -) On a more serious note ... I am concerned, if all of the DNA research pans out and they come up with tests for every possible GSD problem, how will breeders use that? We've already seen a movement for using only ofa certified dogs, too often with little apparent concern for those dogs' siblings' ofa results. Will breeders throw out every dog that has a dna identified problem? If this technology really is coming, it might be a good idea to discuss how it will be used by breeders.
