I've been trying to avoid posting in this thread, but the more I read it, the more I feel I should throw in my 2 cents. It appears that you're always claiming to want to learn "both" sides and that this thread is strictly for learning purposes. However, as I read your posts, it just seems like no matter how many knowledgeable breeders and owners give you their opinions and important facts to consider, you seem to question everything they say and try to defend your own position. Although I commend you for wanting to do your research and not just going ahead and breeding your girl without trying to get some important information, it also doesn't seem like you're taking in all this useful information that everyone has offered. You just counter back at them and try to justify breeding your girl....that's the thing that really bugs me
