I have contacted all of the other breeders and none of them have had any problems in their histories for at least 3 or more generations. I am aware that this doesn't mean there won't be a throwback but I feel safer with them than with Lady. I should probably call Lady's breeder and talk to her because at the time I bought Lady her breeder had just come out of the hospital after being there for a month. She seemed a little confused. I just have the feeling that I don't want to deal with her. Sylvia

Call the breeder. I have two old book from the years 1952 thru 1986. If you give me a sires' or dam's name I can tell you the number of champions they prodiced during that time period. Kinda fun to look at with the old pedigrees.

I have never been able to find one from 87 to current.
