This post made me smile and also frown and made me feel somewhat dated...made me smile because I too wondered what the bitch would be bringing to the table of such a stud; frown, because it did not list "healthy longevity"...and dated...because I remember seeing ads (pre internet) for Lance free etc etc....for the same reason, too much of a good thing etc.etc...as to the Red Book...go ahead take a look...and then count how many would completely satisfy this criteria...What's fun is that I have a list started on stud dogs that may or may not fulfill all those requirements; it is only preliminary at the moment and I have a lot of weeding to do, but it is for someone else for a couple of years out...so have lots of time to cross out the early demise, unexpected surprises, etc etc...it will probably be a short list by the time I am finished with it...
