Well, okay. Who would determine which temperaments would be acceptable? Who would keep the records on whether or not a reserved dog was softer because of genetics versus environment? Is dog aggression acceptable? Is cat aggression? Squirrels and rabbit? Who would define type? The person who prefers a deep stop, or the person who prefers a shallow stop? The person who prefers shorter backs and heavier bone structure, or the one who puts lovely movement above other structural issues? Who would make the decision as to whether or not you were willing to use an 8 year old heart clear boy who had mild dysplasia in one hip versus a 2.5 year old boy who was OFA good? Who would decide if the boy who produced retinal folds but who had 8 year old heart clear parents was more valuable to you than the boy who produced clear eyes but had a parent die at six of causes unknown to you. You don't get to legislate these questions, Winnie. Neither does CKCSC. Neither does AKC. It might go as far as being required to produce cardiac clearances on breeding animals, but much past that and you are in really deep water. I'm not willing to let you make those decisions, Winnie. I'm not even willing to let pet owners vote on those decisions. Myra
