The first thing I would love to see is our breed free of Hip/Elbow problems.

The next is stable temperaments. I think too many people breed for the wrong reasons - they look at the dog and not what is behind it. We all have done this and I am no exception. This may have caused problems and we need to learn from this, as it makes us better breeders.

I feel the breeders pride of placement should be for all the pet buyers, as these people really love and care for their dogs. I'm certainly not saying the show buyers don’t look after their dogs, but the bulk of puppies go to pet homes, so we need to encourage these people to have their dogs desexed to prevent unwanted puppies being born that may cause trouble.
