Sure, many WILL educate themselves and do right by the dog...but what about those who don't? How else can a breeder protect the dog and the breed in general?
I respect your opinion as I do everyone's, but I have to agree with Pat on this one. If you spend decades perfecting your lines, all it takes is one breeding of a good dog to a poor one to produce a bad representation with who knows what genetic defects...and the 30+ year dedicated breeders name is stuck to that for all eternity. |
then when this person started breeding how was it that they got their good name??? Did they not have to buy from a "perfect" breeder who was afraid of selling their breeding rights? And yes I think that some of it is about the money otherwise people would not be trying to sell the babies for thousands of dollars!!!!
