I agree with all of them except the "testing is not reliable". Show me that all tested dogs have never produced a defective puppy. I always tell buyers that testing reduces the incidence, but there is always the possibility of a problem. Only DNA testing is reliable and we don't have that yet. All the best, Susan Cochran
