Someone kindly emailed me privately to let me know that my comments above 
might be interrupted as slamming a particular line.  My comments are totally 
generic.  I would never be specific about a particular line of breeding.  I 
do not know what dogs Kelly breeds so no one should interpret my remarks as 
being derogatory of her or any one else's breeding.  Just statement of things 
as I believe them to be and not related to any particular gene pool.
