On the other side: breeding of dogs is not rising puppies for new owners but it is about the whole breed. When I have the litter I have it not only to sell thew puppies and to be happy the puppies have nice new owners... Sure, it is the main thing but beside of it I make matings that can be useful for other breeders. That's why I'm asking dog owners to make x-rays, breeding rights even if the want to have dog "only" as family member...

And you will find MANY breeders which handle similar way - they make litters, have new owners, but at the same time they really do something for the breed. Some of them NEVER wrote a post here, they are not involved in the fights and nobody never wrote their name here in bad way.... But still they send the infromation and updates - typical responsible breeders which really care not only for themself....

I really do not want to attack them but imagine - maybe there are some interesting males, interesting healthy lines in Denemark. It is good to hide them? Information about them if they can help us to make the breed better, healthier?
No Margo I don`t think that people have to be active on this site to add info about their dogs, but I think ALL breeders have some puppies(somewhere in the world) they don`t have contact with after puppies got new owners, this dosent make breeders bad breeders, but makes it impossible for the breeder to send updates. ...and yes I know for a fact that we have some interesting healthy lines in Denmark, but owners don`t have interest about breeding for many different reasons. I agree with you that it would be best for the breed if ALL owners(not only in Denmark) of CSW would make HD/ED/bonitation of their dogs, but many people don`t even know what is bonitation and people who don`t have interest about breeding does not make xrays of their dogs unless they are sick or unhealthy in some way, they are just happy to have a CSW companion, I am sorry to say this, but in Denmark most people who are dog-owners don`t care for breeding, showing or training, they just want to have a family dog and they really don`t think that far that their dog maybe would be usefull for the entire breed, I am sorry but this is fact !

I don`t protect them and I don`t attack them, I speak my mind with them and hope that they will get same interest as me for our breed, but if not, it is still okey with me, I don`t mind people have different opinions, ideas or interests than me, but ofcourse I can be sad that they don`t understand the how importent their dogs might could be for the breed that I love so much ....But I don`t think it makes them bad persons !
