I understand what you are saying but I personally think it is more reasonably to try to get people to do basic blood panels on puppies and adults and then go from there. I just think that is a reasonable starting point that most breeders might be comfortable with. From what I am hearing even vets think the first step should be a blood panel and only do a BAT if the blood panel is questionable. I know you are not trying to be ugly, you have very strong convictions but people that don't know you might get offended. I think many breeders just accept the fact that birth defects are a part of life and just hope it won't happen to them. Kind of like playing Russian Roulette.
