In the older Redbooks, for each dog/bitch featured they had the following
comprehensive questionnaire (sorry for the length) with answers provided by
the owners/breeders. This was, in my opinion, a great start in determining
the problems and/or traits produced by certain lines. However, my guess is
that it went by the wayside due to answers that could be considered
protective of one's lines. Perhaps if we all would be candid about such issues,
we
could eliminate some of the problems that plague the breed we profess to
love so much. I wish breeders would be thoughtful of the breed's future rather
their 15 minutes of fame. Just my opinion.
Regards,
Pat
