I love that. That is exactly what I wanted to say. I really don't see how responsible breeding of any breed or mix of breeds contributes any more that breeding the breed standard. It is people that let their dogs go unfixed and roam the neighborhood... jumping into other people's back yards and breeding w/ their unfixed dogs and so on that is irresponsible. Puppy mills are breeding pure breed AKC and they are irresponsible. She didn't aske can I breed my yorkie w/ a LP or w/ shunts... she asked about the coat. Now, unless she has the female.... I don't know many female owners who would want their female bred to less than the standard... but if she has her own female... I don't think she is contributing to all the problems you list.
That being said. She did ask. If someone ask "what would be the problem w/ that" then they have to be ready for the responses they get. If someone states they are going to do it... then I don't think people should but in and attack. But in this case the girl did ask.... and was told many opinions and she has to decide from there.
About cottony coat... the person that says cottony or wooly don't tangle is wrong. Silky rarely tangles except around the haunches.... but the other two it is a constant battle unless they are cut very short. |
