In my very first post, I said, "So, on the parents of this litter, do you have Hip or Elbow certifications? CNM? PRA? CERF? EIC?"
My posts after that were in response to other posts (some of which seem to have been removed).
And where you said,
"Of course, the same guys that claim toexamine a pup's pedigree going back 3 generations on both sides probably think nothing of jumping the bones on a scanky heifer of the two-legged variety at bar time." Was certainly true of me back in my wild days (back in the stone age
