Hopefully Judy will be thanked publicly for her four years of dedication regarding the Health Registry. I feel personally responsible for the Health Regisry as it was my "baby" during my Presidency and Judy worked hard to iron out the kinks from my very rough ideas on how I thought the Registry should be laid out.
IF everyone participates, it will become a valuable tool to identify lines that have later onset murmurs. Like any other club project or function, if no-one participates then it will take much longer for the purpose of the project to evolve. If no-one attended the shows, also a Club function, there would be no Champions. If no-one participates in the Health Registry then it cannot flourish and that would be to the deteriment of the breed.
