Twilight Zone theme needs to be playing right now. LOL

Bob's  a pretty ok guy, so I'll answer him: yes, Bob, I OFA my breeding stock.

lyn:

       I,ve read thru this post and NO where does it say anything about any one getting a OFA excellent possibly your mind is wondering to another thread. They make meds to help with that if you need.

I understand Steve completly, He is looking at this soley as a owner of a working dog from a working point of view. He (as many here do) also believe that even pet owners who have one dog and never bought it to breed end up poping out a litter, so in those cases YES they should be OFA,d at minimum.

I have all my dogs OFA,d breeders or not just for the knowledge.

Yes, The word Bitch is an apt one and suits you to a T, but mine was somewhat more vulgar.
Equalizer
So you want to get on the band wagon as well do you, Yes There and Their have THERE placings in Grammar, But we are on a Bloody Dog forum, I for one do not ANALYZE every word i write on this Forum for mistakes in grammer on every word just to appease a moron like you or Jenni or anyone else for that matter, But one thing i do not like is you are calling me a Liar regards the Book and Articles
So Tough Guy Put your money where your Mouth is and let us prove it one way or the other  for you have a very big mouth
5,000 Dollars  to you if i am not telling the exact truth. However i will give you two Phone numbers to ring 
One of the Publisher and all you have to say is can you buy my book nothing else I will give you the title of it and my full name
The second is the Editor of the paper i write for, Just say when was the last article that Scribe Steve produced. 
I tell you now it was in last weeks edition of the paper you need say  nothing else then you will know for sure
After you have been made to look the fool you are, you  then you pay 1000 dollars to a Children's Charity in the USA and you are getting off lightly, if i am wrong then you will get your 5000 dollars and it will be paid for sure
So come on  do not be shy you say i am telling an untruth so prove it like a man that is if you are one and do not make excuses or bluff about take up the challenge.

I "read" both threads.....why so much "irritation & speculation"??
I believe the original thread was to express the satisfaction of a dog, being certified OFA excellent....
Then the comment of certification of elbows (in the future)..IF.. this dog would be considered for breeding purposes.
Jenni...simply stated that it was "not" chosen to be done (at the moment) for her, along with the hips.
People (myself included) stated to Jenni...that it might be in her best interest to do them soon...because of the chances "older" dogs have of possibly not passing certification because of slight imperfections or changes...due to wear & tear or age.
I have read NOTHING to the fact that Jenni (as a breeder or otherwise) would oppose certification of breeding dogs....
She has never stated that breeding dogs need not be certified...nor did she proclaim that her breeding stock is non-certified....."where is this hype coming from"??
If people "choose" to omit certification on their "personal" canine companions.....who has the authority or right to chastise them??

Bob, good for you if you want to OFA your pets. That's your right. Thousands of other people choose not to; that's their right. It will be their right until a governing body makes it mandatory for pet owners to OFA. When that happens, send me a postcard, because I will have long left the country.

Steve, you have written yet another post having NOTHING to do with the matter at hand- OFA and ED. Instead, you have idly threatened/dared Equalizer and called me a "vulgar" name, in yet another long, condescending, and insulting run-on sentence.  I rest my case.

Robin, thank you for presenting the facts in a cooler, more civilized manner. I've had a bad week and am extra extra testy, I fully admit. It certainly is ironic that all this started after my thread about my (yippee!) OFA "excellent" female.

Sorry to the OP, for the unraveling of your thread.

Steve,
No one is disputing the fact that certification is crucial.....and is/should be absolute for dogs intended for breeding.
I think the misunderstanding is stemming from the "personal prerogative" of certifying one's own pets and companions.
Certification is not as important for many that choose to have dogs solely as companions....it does not change the fact that they will love & own their dogs for the rest of their lives.
Xrays are a medical procedure that is often only done on companion dogs....should the NEED arise....often because the animal is showing symptoms of a problem.
I think  you have misunderstood the comments and opinions of some people that have posted.....
JMO,
Robin

"I for one do not ANALYZE every word i write on this Forum for mistakes in grammer on every word just to appease a moron like you..."

In my experience, Steve, people are either good with the language or they are not.  Those who are don't need to spend time analyzing every word they write; it comes to them naturally.  I did not dispute your having written a book or various articles; I disputed your claim that no one has ever needed to edit any of your writings for any reason as even the best writers make mistakes and it strains the limits of credulity to accept  that you never have.

Having said that, your response was both rude and sophomoric.  If that's how you'd like to present yourself, you're doing a good job.

One more thing...it's "grammar"...you know, to us morons and whatnot.

Jen:

            How many times have we seen and heard on this web site the following. " I bought to have as a family pet and my neighbor who has a GSD said she looks real nice so we made a litter" or " we enjoy our girl sooo much we decided that everyone should be able to know our joy" and last but not least " man if we breed ginger we could make some good money" it happens all the time.

There would be no need  for this discussion if AKC did the right hing for once and had minimum breeding standards to get litters registered.
