I am very interested to know if there is a concerted effort being made in the breed to select for natural whelping and mating characteristics.

I note the breed clubs have a health assessment recommended.

Also why are so few hip scored? the few who have had their hips scored show no reason for complacency regarding this issue.

Also what can be done about the outrageous overpricing of the breed?

Good breeders have no option but to follow suit or risk their pups being resold for a profit
