Give me the name of a dog that will have an influence on the breed going 
forward that does not have a Dwarf carrier behind it...  If we are pinning 
our hopes on the working dog breeders, except for a very small few out of the 
total breeding "working dogs" on farms,  we are screwed.  Most of these folks 
have nothing but disdain for us and what we do.  They think we are only 
holding beauty contests here.  

Are there any pure Soliel dogs left without the horrible orthopedic problems 
they encountered?  Dogs that were never infected with the Dwarf studs seed 
that we all jumped on the band wagon about 20 plus years ago? If there are, 
tell us where they are.  The breed may need them sooner than later.

<< there are show/pet breeders whose animals have been shown not

Who are they and what is the background of their dogs (names) that escaped 
this genepool?
