Comments from
Action Bull Terriers
website:
Why bother with a genetics site?
My feeling at Action is that someone must initiate a site for the open
communication about the genetics problems present in the breed instead
of whisperings and accusations that I have been accustomed to hearing
for about twenty years. I never cease to be amazed when someone tells me
that one of my dogs is well known to have produced a plethora of a
problem and not once has one of the owners called to tell me that the
problem occurred. Frankly, I often am not aware when one of the animals
that I bred dies. My hope is that this site will serve as a gathering
place for information about the physical and mental health of the
animals descended from my breeding program. After all, it is impossible
to fix a problem that one is unable to identify.
As a physician, I have always had a personal interest in the study of
genetics. I have been accused as being crass about my belief that we
breeders owe it to the bull terrier community to autopsy our dogs that
die at an early age. I feel though, that any dog/bitch that has been
used frequently enough to impact the future breed and the owners of
his/her get should be informed. I also admit due to time constraints
that I, at times have been negligent of taking the time to keep in touch
with the owners of my dogs offspring. With this in mind I have decided
that this would be a convenient site to publicly inform them of the
health, both good and bad, of their dogs ancestors.
I offer this site as a place to receive information about your dogs with
Action ancestry. Nothing will be listed without the consent of the
owners involved. It is not my right to expose others problems. I will
write about the health and causes of death by dogs owned by me in hopes
of being a trendsetter in our community. It is currently being done in
the mini bulls. I commend those with the courage to admit that their
lines are not perfect. This is the first step to strengthening future
generations.
