EBBASA vs SABT

[temwani]

Hi Julie,

I think the problem with testing for an even temperament is that people have yet to agree what this means - some people want a dog no-one else can touch and some want a dog that anyone can touch. In the UK I think it will be very difficult to get un-biased testing when there is such disagreement amongst breeders. Sadly this has been the way with many new breeds.

I should also mention that when EBBASA hold their general assembly, members can vote by proxy. With SABT you have to turn up at the meeting in order to have a vote. Seeing that the meetings are held in South Africa, not many foreigners attend.
