I agree Bama. To many people are selling these dogs to breeders who don't have a clue about these dogs (history or health) and are just churning them out. I just don't understand the rush until we stabilze this breed/color variation and have the best breeders breeding for health and confirmation. Everyone has been in a rush to sell show quality when most of them are not even on their 3rd generation to see how there dogs are developing. We have breeders that cannot read a pedigree to see how closely the dogs are related and they are breeding them. The tools are out there (Pedigree Data Base
Welcome to the Pedigree Database ) that would help breeders see how related their lines are but the Biewer community is not loading up their pedigree's. In order to safeguard this breed the dogs should be removed by 5 generations. I don't understand why people will not load the data base if everyone is saying they are doing everything for the "betterment of the dogs".
