I can confirm the statement of Paula and add the statement of one of the German specialists in HD, who was one of the persons invented the HD-Xray systhem here and is member of the group working on genetic orthopedic disorders in dogs, he clearly said to me on asking for it that it can be absolutely sensible to use a dog with a C hip of a breed with a genetic small base AS LONG AS YOU TAKE CARE WHICH MATING PARTNER YOU USE AND AS LONG AS YOU HAVE A TIGHT SELECTION ON THE OFFSPRING.
I am sure that Paula will take care of this.
And I also fully agree with Paulas statement about the GB-breeding and will add another point: A breeder that never came further in meeting breeders and dogs than France, Netherlands and surrounding states, that never joined a Clubshow with a specialised judge out of a country of origin and a bonitation with the same should be very, very careful with his judgement about others and first look at his own breeding and doing.
All in all I think we should ignore a wannabe with very few true things to say.
