I think I'm the one who has accused you of a breech of ethics. Thought I was clear about that. And here you are defending breeding dogs with serious faults:
"The fact that you find slight underbites in the show ring all the time is evidence that the "perfect bite" is difficult to get and is not life altering in many instances. It is these situations that make it impossible for anyone to argue to that this member is irresponsible if she breeds her female to produce pets. There are probably some breeds who have underbites genetically and they are not considered faults at all."
You mischaracterized a statement made earlier by a very responsible breeder who said she had "seen" bad bites in show dogs -
NOT that it is a "fact" as you say that you "find slight underbites in the show ring
all the time ". It may not be life altering to a single individual, but it is sure to influence his/her progeny when bred where it can indeed express itself as life altering. That's the whole point.
I don't think anyone has accused anyone of being irresponsible because she is asking opinions about whether her bitch should be bred. But make no mistake
I am clearly saying that you are unethical for defending the practice of breeding bad bites.
