I agree. I usually put something on my web site but it may take a few months. If the purpose of the original poster was to study pedigrees, there's an easy way to find out what genetic bads are in a pedigree. TALK DIRECTLY TO THE BREEDERS INVOLVED. I know without a doubt I could call Iza this minute and if I was considering breeding to/buying something she would be brutally honest about which of her dogs produced this or that, what I should consider, what has worked, what hasn't and also what I should consider breeding away from. And there are dozens and dozens more just like her. Now, if I was just calling to gather gossip, different story. Too many people in dogs like to collect information to gossip and then the next time you hear snippets you wouldn't recognize it.

I love Evanâ??s post (all of them), but then, I love Evan. I take exception to what was said about telling people what my dog (any dog) died from. I donâ??t like to post my personal griefs, and surely wouldnâ?? t put it in the Review. (not that any dog of mine that anyone would be interested in has passed away recently).
