Absolutely not! I don't really want to "improve" the breed at all. I think there is plenty of good conformation in the gene pool, and I'd only want to PRESERVE what we have. If we ignore legs - the all-important leg joints - then we can easily breed the good conformation that exists away. Karen Thomas, NC
