The only problem with this Mike is how many pet people never send in the registration papers??

If you really want to know how healthy the breed is perhaps we should encourage the PC with the AKC's assistance to send a survey to all of the regestered GSD owners in the last 20 years(800,000 - 1,000,000). Or if you wan to narrow down the scope, only to GSD owners of dogs that would be older then say 8 and younger the 20.(which would be about 500,000 dog's) A well developed survey could be very beneficial to all. > Otherwise it's just our best guess, and I happen to think the glass is more then half full. > > ;-) > > M > > > > ============================================================================ > POST is Copyrighted 2004.
