breeders. seems a bit too convenient that i see references to an article where HD dogs were bred and pups locked for months in some bizarre postion which they had their movement highly retricted to show that HD is more about environment not breeeding. some breeders cling to this article and bring it up whenever there is any discussion on HD pups - not interpretting their motives but seems snakey to me, like HD is the puppy buyers fault.

the article is as i understand legitimate, anyone got a link. what sort of saddists would even do this experiment - i will persoanlly write a letter of complaint to the university's ethics in experiments committee and hope it gets on national television - are there some experiments that can not be justified, in the human case the answer is yes if you are aware of the infamous nazi data.
