Laura, there is a difference between voluntary information and forced disclosure through intimidation which is what you seem to be advocating. What makes you think that the dogs of anyone who doesn't tell you everything about their health records would not be as healthy or even healthier than yours??? Or that everyone who publishes their testing must have healthy dogs??? That is sort of like saying that everyone who drives a Cadilac must be rich. Well, let me tell you that there are many Cadilacs parked beside mobile homes. By the same token, there are many who shout their test results whose puppies are not as healthy as ones who are less vocal.
