Any engineer
working with stone and steel would want to work with reliable,
quality materials and be assured of its worthiness before
constructing a beautiful building... In the same way,
responsible breeders choose to assess what they can in their
programs. Titles are not necessarily a sign of
worthiness or good health. If a breeder is
not doing tests regularly and on all stock, they can't make
predictions or guarantees. Ignorance is not bliss, it's poor
stewardship.
