ya know JoJo I'm beginning to wonder if you are having this conversation elsewhere with someone else because you keep coming up with things I never said and disregarding what I do say

For example I said

that's where I got that.

My line has a VERY low (compared to the breed) cancer rate. My male (Annie's sire) is 9 1/2 and no signs of slowing down, his dam was almost 12, her sister was over 13 and that bitches sibs and children have lived to 12+. Not sure why I'd dump what I have and start with an unknown.. It is very difficult to find truthful people in our breed that "fess up" to the failings as well as positives in their lines

I am not asking the impossible, I am asking for what I ALREADY have. If I have it, someone else must too!

My bitch is cardiac echo'd with a low velocity, ex hips, clear elbows, eyes Cerf'd is a good citizen, a model family dog, a very intelligent training partner, safe in public yet still alerts us to the questionable. She has a fairly low use pedigree. Looks like a proper Rottweiler too :)

I also said I was not looking for perfect and I have not slammed anyone's lines...

I have to say I am totally baffled by your posts

And yes Patti longevity counts a LOT. EVERY dog has to someday die of something and a dog that dies of whatever at 12 is different than a dog dying of cancer at 2
