Dogs NSW Magazine Oct 2010

I am so far behind in my reading but had a few seconds to look at the above Oct issue.

I read on page 23 'In Plain Sight'

All dogs found to be affected or carrying PRD (PRA) should be removed from breeding programs.

Is this right? Is this what is taught and what everyone does and aspires too. All carriers are removed, across all breeds and all breeding programs? Is that right?

'Saint Bernard Profile' page 29 section 'Health'

Only topic is about diet, there is a notation of several paragraphs about diet for proper bone growth (?).

No health problems are listed at all. Not one word.

So who are these breed profiles written for? Are they for the public to help them become educated on the breed and to be informed buyers?

At any rate, I am thrilled to read that there is not one health problem that warranted being listed in this breed profile about Saints.

Just had a chance to look at the other breed Aussie Shep.

They also have no mention of any health problems.

About 1/3 of the written text is devoted to their appreance.
