Pe...Wendy, I see you are breeder of Irish Setters. <BR/><BR/>Perhaps you could address your thoughts to your breed, which (according to the Kennel Club's own data at >> http://www.thekennelclub.org.uk/download/1575/hsirishsetter.pdf ) has a death-from-cancer rate of 27 percent and a death from heart failure or defect rate of 10 percent. <BR/><BR/>Of the 670 dogs reported on in the Kennel Club's health survey, 45% had at least one reported health condition in a population that had a median age of 5 years and 11 months. <BR/><BR/>You are free to post your rambling dicourse again, but it had nothing to do with the Cabol study that I could see. Perhaps in your haste you did not actually read the Cabol study and missed the fact that it was done with the help of the Kennel Club's own genetic's expert? What is your problem with the Cabol study, and what is your expertise in the area of genetics and/or population dynamics or statistics? Or do you think an uneducated opinion is equal to serious science backed up by peer review in an established genetics magazine? Some people do, no doubt ....<BR/><BR/>As I recall your long ramble was about the Cheetah population, etc, which has NOTHING to do with the Cabol study, or the subject of this post. It was pretty close to typing and read (to me at least) as stream-of-consciousness from someone who had not even bothered to read the original post.<BR/><BR/>PatrickPBurnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05781540805883519064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684843.post-34386287614270738292008-11-17T15:25:00.000-05:002008-11-17T15:25:00.000-05:00No problem.

My tolerance for nonsense is pretty low, as most people who read this blog know.<BR/><BR/>PatrickPBurnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05781540805883519064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684843.post-71926370901300468032008-08-18T21:38:00.000-04:002008-08-18T21:38:00.000-04:00The documentary has moved the BBC to review its a...The documentary has moved the BBC to review its annual coverage of Cruft's. <BR/><A HREF="http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/tv_and_radio/article4561098.ece" REL="nofollow">BBC ready to dock Crufts coverage after ‘Nazi-style’ breeding</A>togohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02564696576032840221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684843.post-57478830504262324362008-08-18T07:42:00.000-04:002008-08-18T07:42:00.000-04:00Very good article.

And Flat-coats are, too. Goldens are just yellow flat-coats that have been bred to another standard. The Tweedmouth strain of flat/wavy-coated retriever is line from which all golden retriever descend. It was always outcrossed to black wavy/flat-coats and Labradors. At one time, you could get all three breeds in a litter, because the registries were open. This is a sane breeding program. Why is this ignored? We need reform in the dog business. Big Time! Let's hope this study starts a movement for reform.<BR/><BR/>https://retrieverman.wordpress.com/Retrievermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15780519136583108632noreply@blogger.com
