From the ones I've talked with or heard about that is exactly what happens. NO health test or clearances on the dogs. And usually their choice of sire is just that it's the same breed as the female. Yet they are very picky about how they breed thier horses. Why it doesn't carry over to the dogs I just don't get.

That's my beef with "horse breeders". Like AJ I'd have no problem with them either if they were as careful and selective about breeding their dogs as they are with thier horses.
