Reputable breeders should ONLY breed a dog that is the PERFECT representation of the breed, right? Too many times I see and talk to breeders who are wonderful people and would love nothing more than to bring a puppy and a new family together....but , the dogs they have chosen to breed fall short of the standards set by AKC, CKC, YTCA etc.
Two amazing representations of the breed may produce a pup "out of the standard"...well understood. I just believe a "reputable breeder" should have the ability to decide which dam and sire is appropriate to breed.

no you are not alone but this same subject is brought up nearly every day and all it accomplishes is hurt feelings and arguements.
