Well Dan a Nasty debate on purity has been going on in Oz, and is nothing new so I am surprised you said its getting nasty. See we don't have the privilege of access to wild stock so it shouldn't be a surprise to anyone over there that there are very very few breeders with any sort of verifiable pure stock. Now as to our retarded Jags the reason we keep breeding retarded animals is to try to diversify the jag gene to strengthen it, and maybe be able to eliminate the wobble which is hit and miss in the Jag gene, there have been many animals with the wobble who have had offspring that had no sign of this neurological problem. The purity debate is played out here and to stir the pot isn't really going to accomplish anything but if you are still curious why we breed retarded animal after this post feel free to let me know and I will try to explain my self better.
