I think there are bads in every pedigree Mike. Some are unacceptable to me and I won't touch them. Others I breed away from and even if they are what some may consider minor, I do my level best not to double or triple up on them. I don't share your concern re honest breeders. Maybe I just hang with a group of really ethical folks but when I have asked the right questions, I've gotten the right (and brutally honest) answers. The trouble as I see it is that some people don't ask.
