It doesn't make sense. Think of how it sounds "I don't do genetic testing, I've never had a problem b/c I look at pedigrees, backgrounds and only use healthy selections?" She states that Terri Shumsky was her mentor. How would she say this on one page then on another that she doesn't do any testing? It must be a typo. Otherwise why bring attention to it?
