. What about a separate registry entitled the Gold Registry (or Platinum or Pearl or Diamonds, whatever) with requirements of documented health tests breed appropriate, and some kind of show records for not just the dog, but also the bitch so that she could have some credentials before she started making puppies. Peer pressure would induce the less than caring breeders to comply rather than irritating them with demands, their use of the 'Gold Registry' would be up to them so this would remove the basis for the 'they can't make me test, I don't need to, my dogs are healthy' argument. I believe that this would be a win-win for everyone, especiually the dogs. And what do all of you think? Michael Allen
Michael, I for one think that your idea is marvelous!! I don't know what you have to do to get the ball rolling but I would be more than happy to sign a petition. Bravo brother! I have a very small kennel but am striving to do everything possible to test my stock and raise my dogs in a clean, loving environment.
