Great advice, one of the reasons I really like Joey's vet was that that he told me that he learned about the particulars on a specific breed from the best breeders he could find. This told me that he understood the true experts on any breed were the breeders. Unfortunately there are breeders and there are breeders, just as there are vets and there are vets, and some more than others care more about "where" they learn the proper techniques.
