Ina, I agree with you 100%.

If somebody notices some imperfection or fault in his dog and wants to share/warn/inform breeders about it - it's fine. This would be fair and very honest. Still, the breeder may see the fault, but have no idea which ancestor is responsible for it.

However, to make an official database responsibly, the information should be complete or almost complete, which of course is impossible. Remember that people own/breed dogs for many reasons. Some love the breed and truly care for its developlemnt, but there are also individuals whose dogs are expected to make up for their owners' frustrations or lack or successes, not to mention those who breed merely for money.

Rolf, would you really expect the latter two groups to honestly admit that their dogs are imperfect?
