Having encountered more than enough gossip, flaming ignorance, and foul language on Presa boards, one gets bored rather quickly and frequently develops a vying for dog world drama more substantial in meaning and profound in consequence, as well as composed of serious and professional opponents. If you are of the same view and have some spare time on your hands (yep, right, aha 
), perhaps you'd enjoy taking time to read this.
I have been following up with this rather remarkable development of events in the Dutch cynologique community for a couple of years now, and thought you might be interested in some materials shedding light on the cornerstone publications in this story. Its fascinating stuff for those who hold breeds' genetic health dear.
It all began with the following document:
www.magmacom.com/~kaitlin...cbreed.pdf
It cause a major OutCry (for some reason Lab and Golden people mostly):
labradornet.hypermart.net/dkc1.html
and later, meet with strong resistance which turned into an organized effort (many cons can be seen here in the "articles" section):
www.nvfr.nl/english.html
www.rashondenfederatie.nl...glish.html
Note the following authoritative article being leaned on as major defense in resistance to the new DKC policies:
www.nvfr.nl/willisInbreed.html
See what genetic diversity proponents had to say and comment upon:
www.homestead.com/dogbree.../dutch.htm
www.homestead.com/dogbree...nbreed.htm
www.homestead.com/dogbree...willis.htm
www.kokonaisvaltaisenkoir...achtel.pdf
All of the above I brought up in light of these most recent documents from the DKC (downloadable from this site):
www.kennelclub.nl/RVB/RVB...enDocument
If this seems like enough material, perhaps you can determine for yourself the "pro's" or "con's". If not, I will link much more of the relevant info to this post. I am interested in your feedback.
Regards
