  good questions, i guess the only way i would call them an expert is if they have some kind of college degree to back it up or special training. I do like the book the Dog Bible, i own it and often look up breeds in it. but now you really have me thinking to.

  Very good point. I think it is quite possible for a well read, highly experienced dog owner to be an expert with or without any formal training. Tracie Hotchner strikes me as one more food kook. She displays the contempt for science all too common in today's society. Of course, with so many scientists lying to advance some other agenda, science has shot itself in the foot as far as credibility. How about the recent global warming emails? They do make it hard to just any science. As I looked through the material at http://www.traciehotchner.com/db/inside.htm I found it long on hype with little indication she knows anything about dogs. She strikes me as just one more ignorant, average dog owner that only thinks she knows enough about dogs to be worth listening to. I didn't get any email about her. I thank you for alerting people to her scam.
