I see snippets in some posts that have set off bells in my head. I think I totally misinterpreted the discussion about HD and nutrition.
>From reading a few recent posts, it appears the concern is using nutrition as an 'out' for unwise breeding practices. I surely think that is a most unfortunate practice. And I can sure see how you'd never want to have those two lines cross. I guess my point was more benign that that I was merely suggesting that the possibility of HD as a result of poor nutrition was a possibility. Not so much that one should use it as a loophole in their breeding program. I sure don't know how breeders can go on doing what they do. It just seems there is a big handful of 'breeders' out there that, if I was a breeder, I'd want to ring their necks. I'm sorry if I've stirred up something that didn't need to be stirred up. To defend HD as genetic for that reason alone, seems sound (excuse the pun). But I'd imagine in our quietest hours, we all know improper nutrition can definitely cause skeletal abnormalities.
