3D, The show people are the reason we do not want to persuade the AKC the recognize the breed. This breed is shown through out Europe but the dogs are trackers first and show dogs second. In the U.S. if the show people were ever able to get this breed recognized they would have them in the ring all the time and never in the woods.

Alaska Magnum, I will have my wife proof read the site when she gets better. I am not a very good speller that is for sure. She has had the flu and this was the last thing in the world she wanted to do. The only test I will be eligable and taking with the JGHV will be the blood tracking test. That orthe UBT testis all I would like to see someone take before testing. I know I will not be able to stop someone who really wants to breed or cross breed and have unregistered pups. This is happaning now already and a few litters of unregistered pups are being sold. We are just hoping to make someone think before doing it. I am not too worried at this point of turning a few hunters off with me holding breeding rights until the dog is tested or worked on real tracks. I would hope that the serious people who want this breed will understand the reasoning and need to do this. Dad is sending his paper work off to the FCI in Puerto Rico now and we will see how that goes. When he gets his paper work back and we see what all is needed we will switch our pedigree from the FCI in Poland to the one in Puerto Rico. This way we will have an unbroken chain in the pedigree.

Mite, as far as DNA registering we have though about this. But only so that maybe in the future the Germans will recognize the BMH's here in this country and allow us to form an official club over here.
I like the way you stated about replacing genetic defects on the web site. I will look at posting it when I get around to redoing that page with the comments people have made.

Thanks to all who have looked at the site and exspecially to those who have taken the time to make suggestions. I will work on making those changes over the next week or so. If you see things that need correcting or that you think needs added too let me know.
