Thank you for posting that- I think it needed to be said - this is why i cringe when people tell me they want to breed their "barely pure-bred" corgi when they have no clue about the lines. I had a feeling that it was over breeding that caused the downfall of the Golden retrievers over all health...but wasnt sure, you know I always look to the foods being fed first, and it just didnt seem to be that easy. I am so saddned about the Goldens and pray that this same thing doesnt happen to the corgis too. Sadly this society is one not to want to have to wait, people are impatient and have to have a cute puppy NOW so they often go on line ordering from puppymills, or puppy brokers ( who get their dogs through puppy mills), petstores, or from back yard breeders who advertise in the local news paper...the more we as a society do this, the more the puppy mills will continue to produce and make money which they DO not put back into their dogs...they dont care about health, long term breed advancement ...they care about money . wow, stepping off my soap box, sorry for the rant...It is something I am passionate about.
