Re: [pyrnet] Pyr eyes

We also GDC certified as many Pyrs in one day last Spring as had been done
all year by CERF.  Please keep in mind that CERF is *not* the only place to
have eyes certified and that GDC is an open registry and also tracks
clearances via a pedigree database that will tie all cleared and not
cleared individuals to their relatives who are on file with GDC.  This
information is available to the public.

See their website:

Frankly only the information and the general attitude that is reflected by
GDC and its use by informed breeders has the slightest chance of "saving"
us.

Two years ago it was "0" percent.
