I have a few comments regarding health and the showdog.....

1)Do you think the time has come to change the CHIC requirements to include 
additional tests like cardiac and thyroid and, particularly, DM?

2)How would you feel allowing either a TT or a TC for the CHIC requirement (as 
TTs are easier for people to attend due to the fact they test in many 
locations)?

3)How would you feel about starting a voluntary health database where we can 
track longevity, health issues (like mega e or DM)? I found one that is geared 
to goldens and labs that looks really fantastic: http://www.k9data.com/.   I 
also saw something similar with the white German shepherds that tracks health 
issues like cancer, bloat, allergies, etc: http://www.wsgenetics.com/

4) Is there a better way to track members of the 13 club so that one can look 
at a pedigree and know that a dog is a member of the 13th club (maybe highlight 
the name)?  I don't even see a place on the website where they are all listed...
