Yep! If I didn't believe the breeding would be of benefit to the breed I would refuse. If I couldn't have any information about the bitch then I wouldn't be able to believe anything. I don't know a show breeder of any breed who does not ask many questions of the bitch owner. It was certainly not that way in Irish Setters--even in the mid 70s. Definitely interrogated about the bitch, it's qualities--plus OFA hips and CERF eyes were pretty much required by almost everyone. However, I think anyone who reads Stud Review or Royal Spaniels is going to expect to have questions asked of them--if they are a stranger to that stud dog owner.
