: : It seems like I'm cursed/blessed to talk about pyramiding. Some times I'm not sure what I believe- we've had so many of these discussions.
: I think there is quite a bit of genetics involved that has nothing to do with health or food selection. Take the Chinese hairless dog--poor thing is almost completely hairless, all wrinkled skin with hair on top of its head and on its paws. But it is supposed to look this way, thats how they were born and thats how they look when they get older. Now, if you had a german shepard or a cocker spaniel and it had no hair you would think that there is something not right about the dog, and you would be correct in that assumption.
: Genetics/Diet...?
: -Eric-
My opinion only: Genetics can certainly play a part in a specific animal's profile, but in the majority of cases of pyramiding you've got to realize that diet (and overall maintenance of the tort) cause the pyramiding and its effects.
How many cocker spaniels do you see with no hair except for a tuft on the top of their head? How many pyramided torts do you see where you can point your finger to a *cause*????? No comparison.
