We need to love a breed because it's wonderful while accepting there will always be some risk of nature taking the wrong course with health.
Really weird to me is how much emphasis we put on animal breeding with none whatsoever on human reproduction.

Well what I got from that article I posted was be judicious in how much emphasis you put on the breeding tests. Start with protecting the sound dogs let them live intact. Then or even before then - decide as a group of dedicated breeders once you have those sound dogs identified what and which tests are necessary to be done. The author positives a certain criteria - is that inclusive enough - is it a justified - logically intact position?
