Letters from the Front Line:
Christopher: Mark, Thanks for the comment. You’re right, that interpretation is how Battaglia draws his pedigree, I’ll have to confirm with the original Brackett. That’s a horrible mess of language–referring to...
Mark: Hi, I just read your article and thought I’d point out that you have the wrong interpretation of Bracket’s formula. When he starts with “let the sire’s sire…” he is referring to a new stud he...
- Christopher: Jen – You’re absolutely right. An error on my part. Inbreeding doesn’t change allele frequencies, it changes hetero/homozygosity, pushing like-with-like and thus the recessive alleles are increasingly...
Jen Robinson: Q1. Mathematically, I’d think that increasing expression of recessive traits requires decreased expression of dominants. Eg, with Labs, more yellow and/or chocolates = fewer blacks.
- Christopher: Ok, I think it’s time for a cease fire.
Jana: Oh please! Just to set the record straight – I’m on four or five Yahoo groups for collies, but I never crossposted any of the conversations from this blog onto those lists. The only Kathy postings I’ve ever seen...
Kathy Bittorf: I could not agree more it is much safer means than this breed clubs and AKC politics. Well at least a maltese that has served well was not hidden or put down so that now the truth can set us all free. A mutation can be...- Kathy Bittorf: This is the problem the AKC is not neutral. A breeder pays for the DNA testing…then you pay the registry. It is all one big ‘cash cow’. Truly you know it is no big deal to have put maltese blue merle....
Kathe: Jana, can you send me a e-mail from my web site and I can get some pictures off to you? His nose is black. Kathe- Jana: Yes, I’d love to see! It looks like he has a black nose, too, not gray like you’d expect.
- Kathe: Jana, Jake has the most beautiful chestnut brown eyes. I can try and get a close up picture of them if you would like this weekend. Kathe

- Beth's Perspective February 8, 2012"This is my job. I move these stupid sheep around. Sometimes Camera Face blows whistles, occasionally shouts, falls down a lot, and I have even seen her cry. I don't like to make her sad which is why I try to be good. Sheep are idiots and it pisses me off. They get together in their little groups and talk about the dogs. They don't have a […]BCxFour
- Dog Park – Revisited February 8, 2012As I’ve mentioned before, I’ve never been a fan of dog parks. However, I do visit one close to me on occasion for two reasons: 1. It’s a quiet dog park with very few dogs, if any, on off times. … Continue reading → […]pennypup
- Arizona Adventure: The White Tank Mountains, Part 2 February 8, 2012Part 1Hazardous was right. The trail instantly got more rocky and had steep drop offs on one side.Conker and I stopped several times to look at the desert on the other side of the drop.Conker seemed like he was having a blast navigating the rocks. Sometimes we would go a little too fast and try to jump up a rock and hit the end of the leash and snap back dow […]Losech

- Sleeping with the Enemy February 7, 2012HSUS revealed in a press release yesterday that they have partnered up with some naive AKC breeders to form a Dog Breeder's Advisory and Resource Council. Hmm....the D-BARC. Rest assured, that name and its acronym are no coincidence! This is a blatant attempt to silence the voice of those who are independent thinkers. It's a typical divide-and-conq […]Starbreeze
