From: sheila lieberman <dgshwpromo@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: The biggest problem is...... I know this will start things, but, I think we should be able to do like the UKC and breed outside our own breed and come back in, after 6 generations of registered dogs, the 7th generation may re-enter the ring. I think it would help all breeds clear up many health issues, and bring new life to many breeds that are bred so closely as to allow illnesses that were previously unheard of in dogs, due to the recessive nature of the illnesses. I think dogs would benefit. JMmostHO sheila ********************************************************************************************************* That would help Dalmatians. Some Dal lines free of the uric acid genetic disorder are the result of an outcross to a Pointer. Those dogs are allowed to be shown in UKC shows, but the AKC won't allow that or allow those dogs to be registered. Diane BISS Ch.
