I find this VERY disturbing to the point that I asked who the evaluator was. Absolutely incorrect procedure. There should be NO personal information regarding the breeding, the owner, future plans of past experiences. IF ANY exercise should be THAT day and THAT day only, this one should. I wonder how many people were asked these personal questions.
