Okay here's the real world. It is very possible neither one was a very good representative of the breed and really neither should have gotten anything. I have seen judges put up the best of the two neither should have been entered. I have seen a judge withhold the ribbon on a whole class of a breed because in the judges opinion none should have been in the ring.
Okay so you wnet to a show, showed your dog with a totally wrong colour. It is unfortunate you didn't talk to some show breeder first and find out if it should be in the ring in the first place. If anyone wants to breed, it is in the best interest of the breed to learn all you can about the breed by attending shows and talking to the breeders who know their breed everywhich way before you even start. Breeding wrong colours is not pioneering something different, it is plain old breeding wrong colours bringing the breed down.
When I have sold a pet quality puppy, even if it is correct colour, I do not ever want any of my buyers to even think of putting it in a show ring.
As far as murdering chocolates, no one is killing anything. That gene is there and when the combination hits that might produce a chocolate pup, a reputable breeder will sell it much cheaper than a regular pet puppy will sell for and make darn sure they never repeat that breeding. They don't sell them as 'rare' for big bucks. |
im not selling anything for big bucks my dogs are always reasonably priced and i very rarely breed maybe one litter a year this is an off year mostly your standard is what i have bread i do know the standard very well after 14 years of breeding i would hope so. i just believe that the other colors deserve a right to ribbons and trophys and good life just like the precious standard its not there fault they are different breeders created them
many breeds have been made standard by misbreeding or genetic changes this is fact of life get over yourself with your one of a kind standard forever it will change thats life
