RE: Kennel Web site opinions
Overall impression is good I think. You give an altogether seious impression. Maybe a bit more of everything.
The opinions of porknbeans I find valid too. I´d keep the kaki in all pages. Its a mild and resting colour. What makes the blue text difficult to see in the link page is probably the white background outside the box.
I find that german breeders often are exellent but maybe not always to the extent they think themselves. Conservatism is great when it comes to conserving certain traits but can be a obstacle when it comes to development. Not that I would want to breed a specialist game tracker to flushing traits. And with the beauty of the breed I fear it is only a matter of time before it hits on with the show only people.[:-]

3D, The show people are the reason we do not want to persuade the AKC the recognize the breed. This breed is shown through out Europe but the dogs are trackers first and show dogs second. In the U.S. if the show people were ever able to get this breed recognized they would have them in the ring all the time and never in the woods.
Alaska Magnum, I will have my wife proof read the site when she gets better. I am not a very good speller that is for sure. She has had the flu and this was the last thing in the world she wanted to do. The only test I will be eligable and taking with the JGHV will be the blood tracking test. That orthe UBT testis all I would like to see someone take before testing. I know I will not be able to stop someone who really wants to breed or cross breed and have unregistered pups. This is happaning now already and a few litters of unregistered pups are being sold. We are just hoping to make someone think before doing it. I am not too worried at this point of turning a few hunters off with me holding breeding rights until the dog is tested or worked on real tracks. I would hope that the serious people who want this breed will understand the reasoning and need to do this. Dad is sending his paper work off to the FCI in Puerto Rico now and we will see how that goes. When he gets his paper work back and we see what all is needed we will switch our pedigree from the FCI in Poland to the one in Puerto Rico. This way we will have an unbroken chain in the pedigree.
Mite, as far as DNA registering we have though about this. But only so that maybe in the future the Germans will recognize the BMH's here in this country and allow us to form an official club over here.
I like the way you stated about replacing genetic defects on the web site. I will look at posting it when I get around to redoing that page with the comments people have made.
Thanks to all who have looked at the site and exspecially to those who have taken the time to make suggestions. I will work on making those changes over the next week or so. If you see things that need correcting or that you think needs added too let me know.

RE: Kennel Web site opinions
I thought I would touch base w/you on your web-site because I did the same when I first set mine up.
The colors are good - it is good to keep the pages looking about the same. Also, dark backgrounds are not good, the green is nice.
It would help people like me if you put a few more paragraph breaks on some of the pages or bigger font. I’m only 33 but have a hard time tracking words in extra long paragraphs.
If you want to go to my web-site I do have my guarantee up - only if you are interested. www.dakotatklabradors.com
As far as the breeding rights - you talk about possible spaying before they go to their new homes. You really want to be careful w/that. I have read, in a couple different places, where it is not good to spay so early. The last article I read said there is an increase not only in incontinence but also infections and there is some indication that females spayed too soon have a higher instance of hip problems. I couldn’t give the particulars ~ this is just off the top of my head. I think I have always heard to wait until 9 mo. to spay.
Good job
