I think the first line of your statement about sums it up. You have not seen any scientific studies!!! Neither has anybody else. I have not seen the studies on the blues either. In fact the only source I can find is this same website that is stating oppinions as facts. You say these studies on blues do exist so can you please provide a link. I am always interested in learning more and since my primary goal is to eliminate genetic defects it is very important to know where these studies are so I can read them.
I have a friend who breeds blue shar pei and the same thing was said about them. 15 years of breeding them shows that they do not have any problems.
I have one other question for the OP. You started this post saying you wanted to learn and you now state your last posts as fact. Why did you make this post if you had already decided you knew all the facts? I was under the understanding that this was to learn more about breeding and improving the breed?
