No perfect dogs, totally agreed, but there are problems that should not be 
bred.  There are problems that when known and bred can be bred with the hope 
of compensating for them, these are type problems, etc.  The danger of saying 
there are no perfect dogs is to give "license" to those breeders without the 
background or knowledge to just say "there are no perfect dogs, so lets breed 
this problem."  I think this discussion is about the more serious genetic 
problems at least that is what I post from.
