Well it was a kind of contextual, sequential thing that led me to react.
In page four of this thread Larry was typing in a couple posts a bit about his program and thoughts on heavy line breeding, and culling and uniformity of color, type and how it fit in his mind that those traits also fit in with fixing type in the areas of drive he looked for as well. Whatever, I can't put words in his mouth.
But directly after that on the first post you made on page 5
as a kid we did not worm or vaccinate our dogs and they were all mutts...mutts have a very diversified gene pool...the first pure bred pup I got very sick and it was my first trip to the vet ever...he said the pup caught distemper and would die and he did...a not so diverse gene pool so the pups will all look alike etc...
Right now there are major issues with tigers/pandas and other animals that are on the endangered list due to a lack of diversity in their genes...and they say that this is a major issue that needs fixing if the species of these animals are to survive and not become extinct...the issues are low ferility, inability to fight off disease etc...
I saw smaller testicles and some smaller dog and litter size slightly smaller...but they were hunting hunting dogs...
Larry, I remember when you announced in the back pages of Full Cry that you were starting a line of dogs...was a good while back...
You kinda seemed to to dig directly at line breeding, health, and 'all pups look alike' when Larry was the only one I read that made mention of a phenotype specification.
Then there was that unfinished, open ended last statement at that post which you directed at Parker and there was very little connotation to that sentence. Leading me to believe the post was directed at him as in when writing usually the first opening statement and the closing statement it is structurally important to tie together and finish a train of thought.
Maybe it wasn't the case, maybe in the only who saw it, maybe other members did as well?
But I thought it was passive/aggressive and mentioned so...
Then after few more pages you flipped back and fourth a few times in my eyes between the virtues and the detriments of line breeding kinda willy nilly flipping sides and, I thought contradicting yourself....
I felt it was kinda odd and thought I'd go ahead and point it out is all...
