| I've always been in favor of breed suitability tests and evaluations (read my posts about ZtP's and BST's).
BYB's will always find ways to sell their puppies. To put a 'crimp' on them, we need to educate the buying public -- the new rott enthusiasts. This way, they will know to keep away from these BYB's, pet store pups, and puppy mills.
Going back to your original topic, genetics and DNA testing can play an important role in keeping the integrity of bloodlines; and put another crimper on the BYB's who may try to claim a certain pedigree on their puppies. |
