I would think that the reason that it simply can't be mandatory is because there are too many questions, too many different scenarios and too many exceptions to the rule for a governing body to make the decisions that would affect all of the breeders. In other words....who makes the decision that says a breeder could not use their own 9 year old heart clear boy just because he has mild hip dysplasia in one hip? Who decides that you couldn't use your fully tested, heart clear 10 year old boy because he can't get CERFed because of a cataract of unknown etiology? Who, in fact, wants to take the ultimate responsibility for telling a person who owns a dog and owns a bitch, that they aren't allowed to breed their own two dogs. It sounds really good on paper, but when you start trying to design a system that will work for all, and, most importantly of all, work for the betterment of the breed, you get stopped on about the second word.
