Thanks for the reply. I understand the concept of what you're trying to achieve...but your foundation dogs still remain the very dogs whose background you questioned. That is what I don't understand. Those genes didn't suddenly go away. I'm not arguing...I'm just trying to understand.
If the breed were so plagued with health concerns...it wouldn't be here 25 years later.
Honestly I don't know that either of us will live long enough to say....eureka, Diana...you were right or vise versa.

In these threads, I generally provide "factual" information...I don't usually volunteer my "opinion"...but I am always interested in learning something.
PS mark your calendar for FL in Feb. We'll have a drink....or two.
