LOL, maybe I should go back to my usual lurking status since I seem to have gotten myself into trouble by not making myself clear! I was talking about the great dogs who have been maligned. I can think of several who have had a great impact on the breed and for whatever reason, people have told ME, personally, that there was something wrong with them. When I ask how they know this for a fact? LOL, they have no proof. It's all based on hearsay. Unfortunately, those dogs are now gone.
One of the first great dogs I heard about was Basil. Someone told me (with great authority) that he died from MVD. Did they have proof? NO! I do find it interesting though to look at the heart registry and to see his offspring over 5 and heart clear. Or to talk to those with his offspring over 5 who can produce the heart clear certificates. Or to talk to a breeder who used Basil in her breeding program and knows, for a fact, that he was heart clear. I just find it disheartening that there seem to be people who are hell bent on spreading misinformation. I think this hurts our breed immensely!
