Sheldrake was testing dog telepathy. He wasn't specifically testing morphic resonance. His papers (on these experiments) only mention 'morphic fields' once..

'....Jaytee's reactions could be described as telepathic, psychic or as dependent on a "sixth sense". We favour an interpretation in terms of morphic fields..'

Could there be a result that would change your mind Chris? If Sheldrake had conducted more complex experiments on dogs sharing collective psi (to attempt to test morphic resonance) perhaps Chris you would have just criticized him instead for just different reasons?

The only thing that could change your mind Chris, is doing your own experiments. It seems you aren't going to trust anyone else's experiment finding psi.
