Lynda Sounds like a wonderful idea, but how can people volunteer the information without incurring the penalties of the NFHR for crossbreeding? Perhaps an anonymous survey. But I agree that it would be a good idea to find out if the temperament thing is an issue with crossing Fjords. Partially out of curiosity, partially becuase it could prevent people from this cross if it was something that was shown to consistently not improve the temper of the non-Fjord parent. Shawna

I suppose we would have to implement some sort of privacy clause...however, we really should consider showing facts as to why we do not allow it nor approve of it for new Fjord owners and the general public. This should fall under the category of education, right? Lynda

Is it possible for the NFHR BOD to create a committee to focus solely on crossbreeding and the effects it has on these crosses? For example, while most of us are adamently against crossbreeding, and most of us have either seen or have heard of a cross and often, it's temperament issues, there are no facts to prove this to the general public.

To show the effects of crossbreeding Fjords. All we really have right now is personal opinion and rumor, although everyone knows my personal opinion on the matter! However, if we had a statistical study completed on this, we would be able to much more accurately prove to the general public as to WHY we do not crossbreed and WHY it should not be done with the Fjord breed. I think that first of all your going to have a hard time getting the information necessary to do a meaningful study. Since the only Fjord owners we really have contacts with are our members, and since it is against our rules I am afraid not to many people are going to tell us about their crossbreeding adventures.
