Natty, I don’t disagree with any of your criticisms. The test results aren’t perfect. Far from it for many breeds with very low incidence of testing. It’s just the most comprehensive info available. It’s not anectdotal, as is most of the anti-pit bull data. (like i said, we count bites. we don’t count non-bites.)

Your experience and insight are welcomed though.
If you would, please post information regarding “…breeding of up to 50 generations a century…”
Would enjoy a more thorough read.[/quote]
Breeders generally begin breeding when a female is around 2. It’s possible much younger. 100 years divided by 2 equals 50 generations. I’m guessing an average would probably be closer to maybe 25 generations a century. Compared to humans at maybe 4. My point was, if the intent was there, breeders could “create” great danes the size of chihuahuas in a single human lifetime. Same thing could also be done with almost any behavioral trait.
