Being in this sport some 10 years or so...I have never ever seen a "Red
Book"..I sort of know whats in it, and I agree that it could be a useful tool
in formulating a breeding program....I have a bitch in this year's book so the
editor has been on my you-know -what to get the info into her...well when I
finally did she was a bit surprised at what I wrote...well I gave an honest
assessment of the 7 litters that she has produced, no more , no less.....based
on a further discussion with the editor I got the impression that most folks
are not that forth coming when talking about problems from their animals...well
if this is true, and I don't know if it is or not...why have a Red Book...if
folks can not tell it like it is, why tell it at all.......on a related subject
I get into disagreeing conversations with Ann Marie all the time about
pedigrees...I used to get into arguments with my wife before she was my wife
about "arrest records"...I look at pedigrees just like I do
arrest records...they both give me an image of the past, they both MAY give me
an in site to the future, but both are way over-rated in trying to predict the
future...the most important dogs in the pedigree are the two dogs stuck
together for twenty minutes or so....how many of you look like somebody 4
generations away on your pedigree...except for Shirley Briggs O'Brien...she was
line bred on Bucannon...lol...FB
