Hi There,
I am Linda Bagnall, I have Maremma Sheepdogs and am very interested in
this eye scheme as I believe it will affect Maremma's as well at some
stage. I have had 3 of my dogs tested but not under this new system.
At this point I fail to understand why the AVA has to be involved at
all. Surely we could have mandatory testing without an AVA involvement?
From what I have read so far the whole thing worrys me as I can not see
any benefit to breeders but many benefits to the AVA.
I do understand that there is no breed club for the Maremma but it would
seem to me that advertising this as a proposal in a journal would be of
help. Perhaps a vote by members should have been asked for?

Cheers
Linda
