Back in the days (many, many moons ago) when I helped with the Red Book, I remember typing up a stud dog's page where the owner stated all the problems her dog did not produce while I personally knew of a litter that had most of them. I quit reading the comments after that. Ruth I think Ruth and I both worked on the Red Book about that time and had the same reaction. Producing blacks is innocuous; producing bloat, bad elbows, and other things is not. The reality of the situation is that most stud dog owners (and brood bitch owners) will not answer such questions about bad things their dogs might produce where it will be printed in black and white.
