you are so right!!! There are many breeders on this list who simply do not see any faults in their own dogs..these tend to be the breeders that spout off about the problems everyone else has!! My experience has been that temperament, or the lack thereof, is the biggest area breeders do not or will not recognize in their dogs...I am sure we have all heard "Gee! He's never done THAT before!!!"
