    Not to mention it is to easy to take a clean Babesia free dog to the vet ,and put the dogs name that is in the competition on it.although it would be nice if it could be done ,but there is not enough honest people out there.

    I think this sums it up. It is sort of like saying we are going into each other steroid free, all natural. A test would be nice but how many people would allow an injection/blood sample of the actual dog during/after the wash? Not too many. How many would actually lie? Lots. Do we exchange monies on show night and wait for the tests to come back and exchange monies again for positive results. The dogs are honest, people are not. In theory, I like it the idea of testing for all the bad things out there prior to the engagement but in reality it would depend on the honesty/integrity of the people in the dogs.
    If the majority were above board it is a great idea but factor in the people involved and one can trust most as far as they can be thrown. EWO
