Someone kindly emailed me privately to let me know that my comments above
might be interrupted as slamming a particular line. My comments are totally
generic. I would never be specific about a particular line of breeding. I
do not know what dogs Kelly breeds so no one should interpret my remarks as
being derogatory of her or any one else's breeding. Just statement of things
as I believe them to be and not related to any particular gene pool.
