There is nothing wrong with a companion dog "standard" being different from a "show dog" standard.

Huh? Where is this so called pet quality standard? I'd love to read it if you'd point me in the right direction. Something I've never heard of and had no idea was out there...

Show breeder's don't care about temperment or personality? Since when? What show breeders have you talked to that haven't given a crap about temperment? EVERY breeder I've talked to has preferred temperment over certain faults. Even Pat mentioned temperment in her post.
