| | Gun Dog Chat - Breeders Code of Silence |
 | | Some times as the article stated it takes generations for a problem to surface.I can only test the dogs that i have welped or come to me for breeding,i have no controll over the past generations,nor do i have controll over the pups unless i sell with a spay/nuter contract. |
 | | There are plenty of responsible breeders out there that do not deserve the general lumping in of the article,although i find it humorus that she mostly singles out the conformation people and judges as the biggest part of the code and the problem |
 | | We should all be aware that genetic defects abound in dogs - some breeds select for them, that is what makes the breed what it is. Ending the naivety would go a long way with breeders, buyers, and the author of this article. |
