While revising The Breeder's Code - why not include language that encourages health tests to both be done on breeding animals and dogs offered at stud... and insist that it be available to puppy buyers. Protection of the unborn [from heritable disease] is a prevention of cruelty and an act of decency for the newcomer and family.

After thinking about this person's website for awhile, it occurred to me that maybe we should include a statement in the Breeders Code that forbids false and/or misleading advertising, denigrating other people's dogs, etc. Not quite sure how to word it yet, but since the BC in in revision as we speak, it may be a good thing to add.... What do you guys think? Jamie JAMIE: PERSONALLY, I THINK IT IS AN EXCELLENT IDEA, AND ESPECIALLY BECAUSE OF THE INTERNET," IT IS AN IDEA WHOSE TIME HAS COME!!!"
