I guess we just are not understanding what each other are asking/saying

That sure is obvious!
Believe me, I'm not trying to beat you up on this. I'm trying to have an understanding of what a true rottweiler should be and what our breeders of today are striving for. And most importantly of what you are asking for. Since you started this thread.
It is said on this forum over and over again, that a breeder (COE) breeds in the standard. What Carol has stated is what I so inadequetly couldn't state. A solid temperament is a solid temperament be it world class ScH or not. That dog is well balanced. As for health, yes we all wish for the best of both worlds, and health clearances are very important, a must! This is where we are not seeing eye to eye and probably never will. I can't state it any other way except just saying it. Why would you not want to try another line without cancer to breed to a line (that impossible stud dog that doesn't exist) to try to knock out cancer in the breed? I know this whole scenario is impossible, but do you understand what I'm trying to say? You are asking for the impossible out of a stud dog, why not out of a bitch? There's that damn double standard. What you are asking for is purity in all it's form and that my friend, does not exist, but isn't that what a COE breeder should be striving for?
