Dr. Greenidge believes there should be one reason for breeding and that is to improve the breed. Dr. Greenidge often says there is no perfect dog; however, they are many great ones. He states the first goal is to produce sound temperaments. Good breeders breed the best to the best and hope for the best. Mother nature will always have surprises.
