It was written: when a lister brought up some German stud dogs last week (including an Admin kibosh) I believe the discussion went on ad nuseum, until name calling began and then the topic was stopped I also believe that the discussion was started when someone advertised two german studs Had the topic been discussed that I used American line line bred on stud A with german stud B and got great backs and heads but lost my fronts, it would have been meaningful I would love see better health, but personally, not certain that by adding different health problems (the German lines have different health problems than American lines), adds vitality. However, my personal opinion aside on the subject, a healthy discussion would have been enjoyable. I see nothing added to our list by removing the discussionof health problems, and possible breeding solutions. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2004.
